roofie

Slipped knockout pill

Roofie is slang for Rohypnol, a powerful sedative.

The drug gained notoriety as a "date rape drug" because it can be slipped into drinks to incapacitate victims: Someone must have roofied her drink.

The verb roofie means to secretly dose someone with such a drug.

Any similar sedative used this way may be called a roofie.
