Sliver Bullet

Last updated Oct 15, 2022 Edit Source

# Silver bullet

# English

In folklore, a bullet cast from silver is often one of the few weapons that are effective against a werewolf or witch. The term silver bullet is also a metaphor for a simple, seemingly magical, solution to a difficult problem: for example, penicillin circa 1930 was a “silver bullet” that allowed doctors to treat and successfully cure many bacterial infections.
