are you on the shuttle behind me, discussing japanese with random woman #4? if so, i'm jealous of the discussion, not the company :)

I felt for you, son, when I saw your fuzzy little head swivel around like it was trying to unscrew itself!

Why was she trying so hard to impress? I was totally eavesdropping, sans eaves. Such is my ability.

I never actually heard "das Antidot"... is it maybe just the medical term used by doctors?

Yes, you find "Antidot" instead of "Gegengift" mostly in medical / scientific contexts, but sometimes also in non-literal uses, like "Lesen ist das beste Antidot gegen Langeweile".
