Davey Jones is a pirate, who decided to sink a ship that he and his crew attacked.Then, pirates begun to say things and people that had be thrown overboard were sent to Davey Jones' Locker!
It basicly means the bottom of the ocean.
How's austrailia?!

Davy Jones' Locker is an idiom for the bottom of the sea — the resting place of drowned seamen. It is used as a euphemism for death at sea (e.g. to be "sent to Davy Jones' Locker"); Davy Jones is a nickname (used primarily by sailors) for what would be the devil of the seas.

Many years ago, I worked at a clothing store, at a Mall, called Davy Jones Locker.
