Default A quick dead shorting question

what does it mean to dead short? Does it mean to short the battery by connecting the positive side to the negative side? Or does it simply mean to discharge the battery until they are all down to zero volt?

I have the Integy 6s discharger and the Integy 030 discharger. They both discharge the pack down to zero volts. If I leave my batteries in the discharger until they are all down to Zero, does that mean I am dead shorting my batteries? Or do I have to connect the positive side of the battery to the negative side in order to dead short them?
