The Fifth Amendment from the Bill of Rights prevents self-incrimination (you cannot testify against yourself), so when you “plead the Fifht”, you are protecting yourself from doing harm to yourself

Duly noted means that I have officially noted your objection to something

5th amendment states that you do not have to give evidence in a trial that may tend to incriminate yourself. When someone says they are pleading the 5th, then that means they aren’t going to answer because if they do, it might be incrimnating.

Dually noted is actuall “duly” noted. Duly is an adverb that means properly;

: in a due manner or time : properly (from the online websters).

Noted, is a transitve verb meaning:

1 a: to notice or observe with care b: to record or preserve in writing

2 a: to make special mention of or remark on b: indicate, show

So, duly noted just means that you have given the proper observation or recognition of what someone may be saying or doing.

I plead the fifth refers to the fifth amendment, which grants American citizens the right to remain silent, or to refrain from testifying against themselves. Duly noted means “noted as it should be.”

“I plead the fifth” refers to the fifth amendmant, the right to stay silent to keep from self-incrimination. It is a court term added to the ordinary vocabulary through movies. “Dually noted” means that the person shall take extra precaution to remember what it is you asked of them/said to them.
