    A welcome shot in the arm

    Nancy Matos

    Reader Question:? “The Nobel committee's decision, like earlier awards to Amartya Sen and Daniel Kahneman, is a welcome shot in the arm

    for research that crosses disciplinary boundaries in the social sciences.”

    Could you explain “a welcome shot in the arm”?

    My comments: Unlike the painful shots in the arm many are getting nowadays as flu season rears its ugly head, the “welcome shot in the arm” discussed in the example above is strictly metaphorical, meaning a boost, encouragement or stimulus.

    For example, the success of the Chinese animated movie “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf” was a “welcome shot in the arm” for China’s animation industry, whose films are usually trumped at the box office by American cartoons like “Kung Fu Panda”.

    The term comes from the sensation one gets from injecting drugs. A “shot” is slang for an injection from a needle, also known as a “jab” in the UK. Literally, one would get a “shot in the arm” when taking a drug like heroin, which isn’t exactly welcoming due to its powerful addictive properties and overdose rates.
