How do all those lines represent deep? Plus it is not a common phrase.
maybe not common to you, but i've heard this phrase many times. the construction is a little obtuse, but i liked this rebus. good job.
Awesome rebus! This one is more real than the others, and its GREAT.
NAUGHTIC BUT NICE
Mad-Ade, if you notice the title, it refers to the sea. Then the "picture" created by the lines make sense.... the "6" is far below the surface. Also, "deep-six" IS a common phrase!! It's also used to mean "cancel or put an end to"..... as in, "They decided to deep-six the project."
Arr...I never knew that...Arr...
