A silver bullet is a specific solution card. It is incredibly powerful against a certain type of card or archetype, but useless or inefficient otherwise. An example of a silver bullet is Moat, because it stops almost all creatures, but is useless against flying creatures and decks that do not use creatures to win (such as Burn, Combo and their variants). A hoser is a particular subtype of silver bullet.
