plead the 6th

This is a concept I invented similar to pleading the 5th in a court of law where, if you find yourself in a situation, inebriated, whether high, drunk or otherwise and completely at a loss for what your expected to say or do next You can declare: "I plead the 6th" and you are magically off the hook, as this simultaneously informs others that you have blanked out and have no idea what you were just talking about 2 seconds ago, while also relieving you of any responsibility for whatever word or deed would have come next if you had not forgotten in the first place. So, similar to how the witness in court gets to avoid answering a question by pleading the 5th, the stoned/ drunk/twacked out goofball who forgets what they are talking about midsentence during an important conversation or epic explanation is freed of the weight carried by that awkward moment that exists in the seconds that follow the total forgetting of some vital fact.

".... so that is why I absolutely MUST...... must, uh.... we must... uhhh...."

"I plead the 6th".

" And by the way.... what the hell was I just talking about?"

plead the 5th

Special Pleading

Name of the mental mechanism that allows people to make exceptions to an otherwise self-accepted statement without being hounded by guilt.

Special Pleading in action:
Jack and Kyle are in line at a pizzeria. Jack notices that Kyle ordered 4 slices of pizza and a liter of Coke. Jack thinks that Kyle is a fatass for doing so.

The next day, Jack orders 4 slices of pizza and a liter of Sprite and downs it all for lunch. But, as he's putting the pizza to bed, all he thinks about is how especially hungry he is after skipping breakfast that morning.

I plead the fifth

It means that your aren’t going to incriminate yourself by not saying “yes” or “no”! When you do say this phrase you are basically saying “yes you did it”, but legally they cannot say you said “yes” or “no”.

Judge: Mr.Parker did you purposely key your ex’s car?
Me: “I plead the fifth”

plead the second

Similar to plead the fifth (remain silent), except this refers to the Second Amendment (right to bear arms). In layman's terms, it means to whip out a gat.

When my P.O. was sweatin' me about why my whiz test turned up positive for coke, heroin, and 7 varieties of elephant tranquilizer, I had no choice but to plead the second and put his narc ass in his place.

plead the sip

When you take a sip of your drink instead of answering an awkward question (à la plead the fifth)

Sarah: Joe, I'd like to be more than friends. What do you think?
Joe: *sips drink*
Sarah: Dammit Joe, don't just plead the sip! Grow a pair and turn me down like a man.
