It is used as a euphemism for death at sea (to be sent to Davy Jones's Locker), whereas the name Davy Jones is a nickname for what would be the devil/saint/god of the seas. The origins of the name are unclear and many theories have been put forth, including incompetent sailors, a pub owner who kidnapped sailors, or that Davy Jones is another name for the devil—as in "Devil Jonah.

  • Рундук Дэви Джонса (англ. Davy Jones’ Locker) — идиома, на сленге британских моряков от XVIII века до наших дней — иносказательное название могилы моряков. Дэви Джонс считается злым духом, живущим в море, а его рундук — это океан, принимающий мёртвых моряков. Выражение рундук Дэви Джонса стало известно широкой публике из произведения английского писателя Тобиаса Смоллета («Перегрин Пикл»). Тобиас Смоллет в своей книге пишет о том, что «тот же самый Дэви Джонс, согласно поверью моряков, является дьяволом, повелевающим всеми злыми духами пучины». Некоторые авторы, как утверждает Жан Рогожинский, связывают происхождение этого выражения с жизнью и деятельностью пирата XVII века Дэвида Джонса, разбойничавшего в водах Карибского моря.

For aught I know he has gone to sea once more on his chest, and may land to bother some people on the other side of the world; though it is a thousand pities, added he, if he has gone to Davy Jones's locker.
  • This same Davy Jones, according to sailors, is the fiend that presides over all the evil spirits of the deep, and is often seen in various shapes, perching among the rigging on the eve of hurricanes:, ship-wrecks, and other disasters to which sea-faring life is exposed, warning the devoted wretch of death and woe.
