HSS  +  192225 Fri, 03 Feb 06 01:20 PM Hi. I was just watching Seinfeld, and George said, "I'll slip him a Mickey." He poured some liquid into a glass that his boss, who had given George the axe, was drinking. Is a Mickey a shot of a stupefacient drug or something? Your help would be appreciated.

To "slip someone a Mickey" is to surreptitiously add such an ingredient. Hly2004 Joined on Sun, Nov 20 2005 Regular Member 717
