bit bucket

A computer geek euphemism for a void or great beyond. That is, dead people go to heaven or hell, but dead bits go into the bit bucket. Also associated with the null device, /dev/null.

I deleted the file so now it's in the bit bucket in the sky.

Where the internet goes to die.

My packets keep riding the tubes right into the ol' bit bucket. God rest their little souls.
