Don't feel bad--I wouldn't have gotten it either if I hadn't seen it in another thread. If you're telling time and the time were 9 to 6 (9 minutes until 6:00), you could say it as 5:51.
ETA: I think the phrase should actually be "9 'til 6" but no one really enunciates the "'til" and it just sort of becomes "to" instead.

You do realize if you have to explain a joke, then it's not really funny. 5:51 is five-fifty-one to normal folks, not nine to six.
