took the fifth

To "take the 5th" or "plead the 5th" means to claim protection under the fifth amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This amendment says in part that no one "shall be compelled, in any criminal case, to be a witness against himself." If a person believes that his testimony might tend to provide incriminating evidence against himself, he can invoke the fifth amendment and he will not be required to answer.

Fifth Harmony

A girl group consisting of 5 members, formed July 2012 on The X Factor USA after being rejected as solo acts. Originally LYLAS and 1432, the girls Dinah Jane, Camila Cabello, Lauren Jauregui, Normani Kordei and Ally Brooke decided to have a fan rename them, and that name turned out to be Fifth Harmony. They are feminists believing in equality of the sexes, constantly reminding their mostly female following of how great of people they are. They are truly the most genuine celebrities, taking influence from Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey, Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake and Demi Lovato. The five beauties have come so far and still have a long way to go :')

Fifty-Fifty

A fifty-fifty is an alcoholic beverage containing one half Dubra (about 2 shots worth) and half Hawaiian Punch. This generally fills about half a Solo cup. It's possible to make this with other low-shelf vodka' the point of the 50-50 relationship is that this beverage is only for those with high tolerance for bad alcohol. Two Fifty-Fifties will get a person tipsy. Blame the dirty dubes.
