A shiner is a black eye—the bruised, discolored skin around the eye socket that results from being punched or struck in the face.

He showed up to work Monday with a shiner from the bar fight.

The term also refers to various small freshwater fish with silvery, reflective scales, common in North American streams and often used as bait.

Shiner Bock is a popular Texas beer brand, which may be what someone means when ordering a Shiner at a bar.
