Etymology

The word roofy comes from the brand name Rohypnol, which people shortened into the slang roofy. A helpful way to remember it is that Rohypnol is a drug that can make someone 'sleep' or 'lose memory', so roofy is used today to name that dangerous sedative and to warn about its illegal use.
