Six up

A deadhead referring to police in the area. It was created in the late 80’s on Grateful Dead tour. The “Six” in Six up refers to the 6 points on a sheriffs badge. NOT number of lights on a car as later thought.

six up

When someone says "six up", it means the police are nearby, so whatever you are doing that is illegal you'd better hide it.

This phrase is most commonly heard in parking lots at Phish concerts where many people openly sell or use drugs, or illegally vend food or beer. "Six up!" is used to give people a heads up when the cops are coming around or when there is an undercover cop trying to bust people.
