Who was Davy Jones, and what is his locker?
Davy Jones is a euphemism for God or the devil. And his locker is the bottom of the ocean. Davy Jones Locker is a nautical term for death. It was propagated by sailors as far back as 1751 and possibly farther. A euphemism is like a coded word. Kind of like using the word “cool” to mean “that’s okay” or “yes”. To propagate means to grow.
