Mithridate ●
\MITH-ruh-dayt\ ● Noun – An
antidote against poison; especially a confection held to be effective against
poison.

pushing Bartholomew over the edge of his already tottering sanity. “You may not
like the mithridate to your earworm agony,” said Sigmund, his psychologist
friend. “It’s a highly concentrated dose of ABBA, followed by a Barry Manilow
cleanse.”
