Slang & Culture
Six
Military clock positions are used for directions: twelve o'clock is straight ahead, three o'clock is directly right, and six o'clock is directly behind you. 'Watching your six' means checking what's behind you. 'I've got your six' is one of the most culturally resonant military expressions, widely used outside the military to mean 'I have your back.'
