Silver Bullet
Where does the expression "silver bullet" from case for use in business solutions?
I often heard my colleagus say "we have not found the magic bullet." I do not like the term, but I understand what it means. I would use another term to suggest the solution "perfect". Suggestions?
I agree with you – this term is used very often. The metaphor of the silver bullet applies to any straightforward solution perceived to have extreme effectiveness. The phrase typically appears with the hope that some new technology or practice will easily solve a major problem that exists. The term comes from folklore. Traditionally, the silver bullet is the only type of bullet for firearms that is effective against a witch, vampire, monster, or a person living charmed life. Other suggestions: Panacea, Magic Bullet
