The Six represents the city of Toronto, and originates from how Toronto is made up of the 6 former cities/boroughs of Toronto, North York, Scarborough, York and Etobicoke, and East York. Many people assume The Six comes from Toronto's area codes 416 and 647.

Words you can keep
The city of Toronto.

A nickname given to the city by rapper Drake. It's called the Six because both of it's area codes have 6 in it - 416/647.
"I was running through The Six with my woes" - Drake

The knick name for the city of Toronto.

Contrary to popular belief, the reason Toronto is called the six has nothing to do with area codes, or the number of boroughs that made up the city.

Jimmy Prime (local Toronto rapper) coined the phrase "The Six" because of how the CN tower next to the Sky Dome (Rogers Centre) looks like a 6.

Drake purchased the naming rights off of Jimmy.
The six side raised me.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
