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

To withhold all information concerning one's actions while in a state of complete intoxication (similar to that which one would be in after consuming a fifth of liquor). Such withholding is an effort to protect one's reputation, but also could be due to the fact that the individual simply drank too much to remember what happened during the time in question.
Dan: "Dude, did you *seriously* hook up with Sandra last night? I thought you hated that bitch."
Steve: "I can't even remember what happened after we left the bar. I'm gonna have to plead the fifth on that one."
