Antidote is what you give against poison. Like i need to take a shot of booze to be around my exes.

Clear, concise definitions, as usual.

However, the plural of antidote can also have another, entirely different meaning. When your mother's sister thinks you're the most marvelous child in the world, and she lavishes you with affection and gifts, that is known as "antidotes".
