Boy, is that a throwback phrase: "slipped me a mickey." I recall hearing that for the first time as a young kid watching Bugs Bunny; invariably Bugs would either have 'slipped someone a mickey' or, in the alternative, been 'slipped a mickey.' Wonderfully descriptive term created at the term of the last century; short for "Mickey Finn." Refers to the spiking of a drink in order to knock someone out.
