What does it mean when someone says "I plead the fifth?"?!
Question: It means that they are taking advantage, literally or in jest, of the 5th amendment to the U.S. constitution, which prohibits a person from being required to testify against him/herself and thus be incriminated. In a court, it means they don't have to tell the court something that might cause them to be found guilty of a crime. In more common, everyday usage, it means somebody isn't going to speak up about something that might get them into trouble :-)

Its the 5th amendment in the constitution of the united states.
It means that they do not have to tell anything that they know about something. It makes you look guilty
it menas that they are using the fifth amendment rights. the fifth amendment states "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. " which succures your fairness in court and trial.
It means they don't have to answer if it will incriminate themself. It is a reference to the "5th amendment" of the constitution, which protects a person from that.
5th amendment meaning they have the right to not talk
