It's something like -
'I plead the fifth' or 'I plead the third.'
What is it, and what does it mean ? Really annoying me !

It's the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which states that you don't have to answer any question that may incriminate you.

Pleading the fifth is a reference to the American constitution. The fifth amendment guarantees that no one will be allowed to self incriminate themselves. So if someone asks you a question that will divulge information you'd rather not share you can 'Plead the fifth'. For example if someone asks 'Do you love me?' you could plead the fifth.

I plead the fifth. It is the fifth amendment and people say it in court. It means that they dont have to say anything that would incriminate themselves.

when some says i plead the fifth they are referring to the 5th amendment to the Constitution. you have the right not to make incriminating statement when being questioned IE while in court
