A Mickey

0Hi.02br
02br
00I 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?02br
02br
00Your help would be appreciated.02br

  • 00A 01b00Mickey02b00 is also short for 05000, an alcoholic drink mixed with a strong sedative, typically without the knowledge of the drinker. To "slip someone a Mickey" is to surreptitiously add such an ingredient.02li

    0 00Roger that, folks. Thanks much. Unless I take a substitute holiday for tomorrow before the end of March, it volatizes --- no more sub holiday. Gotta take it before too late. 00 0-
