To be judged by 12 is to go to court and to be judged by a 12 man jury, which all court trials have.
To be carried by 6 is to be dead. It is common for 6 people to carry a coffin (3 on each side) to and from the hearse.
In total the phrase "I'd rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6" means that the person would rather kill someone and go to prison than to, themself, be killed and have to be buried.

This phrase references when someone needs more destruction in their relationship. The six-four comes from smashing a six-string guitar into a four-string bass guitar. The five-o references five attempts in a relationship at "getting some" and in turn getting "o" or none.
If you take your girlfriend out five times with no action, your friend could say, "Man, you need some serious 6-4 in your 5-0." Conversely, if you take your boyfriend shopping five times and he neglects each time to buy you a cinnabon, your friend could say, "Girl, you gotta get some 6-4 up in your 5-0." The form of destruction could refer to anything, not just musical instruments smashing together. For instance, you could drive your car through your girlfriend's dog's house (taking out the dog first of course). Or you could drop a road flare and some firecrackers in your boyfriend's garbage disposal.

Referring to the appearance of a woman who has absolutely nothing to offer in the chest. A woman who is Straight up and down like six o clock looks exactly like what the term implies---there are no boobs to break up the straight line appearance when you look at her from top to bottom. Most prominent when viewed from the side.
"Man did you see that chick?"
"Yeah....she is OK but she has no tits..."
"Yeah I know what you mean....she's straight up and down like 6 o clock!"

girlchild forever, a small lady with peter pan syndrome, never older than 12, heart that loves times five and a big imagination but gossamer skin and glassy-skeletal insides
the girl would be turning 21 years from 6 + 4 x 2 on her birthday, but her mind&heart would remain 6 or 4 or 10.
