missing common meaning

[edit]

I've noticed the disambiguation page lacks any mentioning of the colloqial meaning of the word, which means as much as 'the condensed/concentrated core/essential content of a a certain subject/issue/matter/concept' (similar to e.g. the idiom 'in a nutshell', or 'epitome' in this sense), and thus hereby suggest it's addition.
(I'm not quite sure whether this meaning is actually commonly used to an extent which would justify inclusion into an encyclopedic general disambiguation/definition list such as this, anyway I've read/heard it in this sense several times so far, and in different places)
