Hello, iam Lauren Tubbs, You have yourself a good one!

Why Is It Called A Fifth? [Solved]
Well, it’s pretty simple - people started calling a bottle of liquor a “fifth” ‘cause that was the standard size. See, back in the day, liquor was measured in gallons and one-fifth of a gallon was just called a fifth. But then some stores in the US started selling bottles they called quarts but were actually smaller than that.
Called Fifth: This term refers to the fifth amendment of the United States Constitution, which protects individuals from being compelled to testify against themselves in criminal proceedings.
Self-Incrimination: The fifth amendment protects individuals from self-incrimination, meaning they cannot be forced to provide evidence that could be used against them in a criminal trial.
Grand Jury Testimony: The fifth amendment also prevents individuals from being required to testify before a grand jury without their consent or legal representation present.
Double Jeopardy: The fifth amendment also prohibits an individual from being tried twice for the same crime, known as double jeopardy.
Immunity Agreements: In some cases, an individual may be offered immunity in exchange for testifying against another person or providing information about a crime; this is known as an immunity agreement and is allowed under the fifth amendment’s protection against self-incrimination
Fifth is a term used to refer to something that comes after the fourth in a series. For example, if you have four siblings, you would be the fifth in line. It’s also used when counting things like days of the week or months of the year - so Wednesday would be the fifth day and May would be the fifth month. Pretty cool, huh?
