Usage of term colloquially/figuratively[edit]

E.g. In "The Making of Truth Serum' by Alison Winter, 2005, the author writes: "It argues that truth serum had the patina of modern science but produced a phenomenon that could be understood and evaluated by everyman"

I don't know how common this usage of the term is, but perhaps it could be briefly mentioned in this entry 173.206.246.219 00:44, 11 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
