drogué
The English phrase 'roofied' can be translated into French using drogué.
While drogué is the most common way to say someone was drugged, it is a general term and does not specifically imply the act of spiking a drink like the English word 'roofied'.
Did you know?
- The English term 'roofied' is named after the drug Rohypnol, but French terminology like soumission chimique focuses on the concept of 'chemical submission' rather than the specific drug used.
- To describe the specific act of spiking a drink, French speakers often use the verb droguer, but adding the pronoun 'se' to make it se droguer actually means 'to drug oneself'.
- The adjective drogué comes from the word drogue, which in older French referred to any medicinal dry substance or spice before it meant narcotics.
