A question for fans (or anyone interested in vintage slang). Researching I came across this in a newspaper article about her work as a policewoman:

she's over six feet high, wears a "shiner" ....

Anyone have any idea what a "shiner" is?

Doing some research for this sunday's talkie matinee, a tribute to . Hanging out at our Niles neighbors, Devout Coffee.

That's an espresso and tonic.
