If you mantled somebody while you were drugged, would that be a Mickey Mantle?

FWIW Department: Erich Segal used "peculate" in Acts of Faith (1992), when his hero has (mis)used the company computer to play the stockmarket with company funds. It was only for a week and the funds were all paid back, but it was grounds for throwing him out nevertheless. "So, Danny, indulged in a bit of peculation, have we?"
