I think she was being humourous, but I looked it up anyway for my own edification. Mickey Finn: NOUN: Slang. An alcoholic beverage that is surreptitiously altered to induce diarrhea or stupefy, render unconscious, or otherwise incapacitate the person who drinks it. ETYMOLOGY: Probably after a notorious Chicago bar shut down in 1903, allegedly because its customers were served spiked drinks and then robbed. dxb Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Accent-uate the Positive!
