3 to 5

Used when something is arguable but you can’t be bothered to argue it.
Thought to stem from if someone says something controversial at 3 minutes to 5 but due to wanting to leave work soon, you don’t bother arguing it.
Often used in situations where “agree to disagree” could be used

“I think John Bridge should have won the X-Factor instead of Brian Hamilton.”
“Well, 3 to 5.”
