verb, to plead the fifth
In a United States court case, to cite one's own Constitutional right in the Fifth Amendment to "remain silent" as a defendant, or to not be forced to testify against one's self. This is why a lawyer cannot simply force a defendant into a confession while under oath.
you will look very suspicious when saying it tho

Get the Plead The Fifth mug.Its a type of party in which everyone must come with a date and a 750 ML bottle of hard alcohol (fifth). However, you must stay zip tied to your date until the two of you finish the entire bottle together. This usually leads to a shit show and everyone gets hammered. Its also convenient because the people throwing the party don't need to buy alcohol other than for themselves. Invented at Santa Clara University.
Joe: Hey are you going to date and a fifth with Katie?
Frank: Hell no, she barely drinks. I'm not trying to black out.

Get the Date and a fifth mug.Related Words
A tradition at Wake Forest held at the tailgate of the last football game. Participators (the 4th years, or seniors) buy a fifth of their favorite liquor and its bottoms up until it is finished. Then, a shit show of epic proportions ensues, which includes, but is not limited to: stumbling, falling, making out, breaking tables, throwing up, spraying keg beer all over the audience, and passing out. Loud singing of everybody's favorite songs to sing when their drunk is a common occurance (e.g. "Wagon Wheel" by Old Crow Medecine Show).

Get the The fifth of never mug.A luxury car made by Chrysler, from 1983-1989. Had a V8 engine and a comfy interior. While not technically a full-sized car, it was the biggest car Chrysler made in the 80's. The boxy styling dated back to the 1977 LeBaron and was just given minor styling updates with a Fifth Avenue badge.
The Chrysler Fifth Avenue was probably the best thing Chrysler offered in their 4 banger "K car" obsession during the 80's. You can get them cheap now, and theres alot still driving around.
