        To withhold all information concerning ones 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 ones 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.

            verb, to [plead the fifth]

            In a United States court case, to cite ones own Constitutional right in the Fifth Amendment to remain silent as a defendant, or to not be forced to [testify] against ones self. This is why a lawyer cannot simply force a defendant into a confession while [under oath].
