 [ "Plead The Fifth" ]

1: 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

  * e.g.,  ... "Did you kill Jimmy?" 

 [ "Plead a Mindy" ]

1: To start a story and to promise to finsih it at some later ill defined point in time.

  * e.g.,  ... There was this huge commotion going on downtown, but I don't have time for that right now so I'll just plead a Mindy for l8r. 

 [ "Plead the 21st" ]

1: When in a losing argument an observer tells you to give up your argument and drink a beer. (the 21st amendment repealed prohibition)

  * e.g.,  ... Zach, I'm married to a teacher, and can tell you that you are fighting a losing battle right now. Just plead the 21st and move along. 

 [ "plead the fifth" ]

1: v. To decline to give self-incriminating information. Refers to the fifth amendment of the US Constitution, which states that no citizen "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself..."

  * e.g.,  ... Joe: Bob, did you ever do drugs in high school? 

 [ "plead the 6th" ]

1: 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.

  * e.g.,  ... ".... 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" ]

1: A refusal to answer a question because the response could hold self incriminating evidence.

  * e.g.,  ... Cop: We know you have drugs in this house. Where are they?! 

 [ "Special Pleading" ]

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

  * e.g.,  ... Special Pleading in action: 

 [ "plead the second" ]

1: 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.

  * e.g.,  ... 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 out" ]

1: To plead guilty in the hope of getting a reduced sentence or some other consideration.

  * e.g.,  ... 'Scunge was caught with his hand in the till, but he chose to plead out while implicating others and got off with a suspended sentence.'
