A shoeshine is the paid job of having someone polish your shoes — the occasion itself, not the cream in the tin. You might sit at a shoeshine stand in a station and get a shoeshine while you wait. The person who does it used to be called a shoeshine boy, a name that now feels old and a little uncomfortable; shoe-shiner is plainer. The word paints a city-street or hotel picture more than Taiwan daily life, where people more often clean their own shoes. It is ordinary English, slightly old-fashioned, not formal and not slang.

One who polishes shoes.
- Walking back, I passed that crazy shoeshine guy again. On impulse, I did an about-face, climbed up onto his platform, and sat. I was nothing more than a pair of shoes to him, and he went to work without so much as an upward glance. But as it turned out, he hadn't been mumbling to himself, as I'd assumed; he'd been rapping. He rapped under his breath while he shined my shoes. I caught a little of it: Calvin Klein no friend of mine, don't want nobody's name on my behind . . ." When he finished, he rose from his stool. "Five dollar," he said, looking over my shoulder. I handed him two fives. "One for the shine, the other for the performance," I said, at which point he did look at me. I figured he'd return my smile, but instead he nodded, blank-faced, stuffed the bills into his pocket, and gave me his back.
