Cosby
Fallen TV patriarch
Cosby functions as a verb meaning to drug someone, typically with the intent to sexually assault them while they're unconscious.
The term derives from allegations against comedian Bill Cosby, who was convicted in 2018 of drugging and assaulting women: He tried to cosby her at the party.
The usage is crude and appears mainly in informal contexts discussing predatory behavior.
