Davy Jones's locker \day-vee-joanz-LAH-ker\ noun <br><br>: the bottom of the ocean <br> <br> <br>Example sentence:<br>The old seaman shook his head sadly and said, "That ship was sunk on a reef three years ago, and every poor soul aboard sent to Davy Jones's locker." <br> <br>Did you know?<br>Was there a real Davy Jones? Folks have been pondering that question for centu<br>ries. Sailors have long used "Davy Jones" as the name of a personified evil sp<br>irit of the ocean depths, but no one knows exactly why. Some claim the origina<br>l Davy Jones was a British pirate, but the evidence that this person existed i<br>s lacking. Others swear he was a London pub owner who kept drugged ale in a sp<br>ecial locker, served it to the unwary, then had them shanghaied. But the theor<br>y considered most plausible is that "Davy" was inspired by St. David, the patr<br>on saint of Wales. (St. David was often invoked by Welsh sailors.) "Jones" is <br>traced to Jonah, the biblical figure who was swallowed by a whale.<br><br>
