Definitions

  1. a government agent responsible for collecting revenue (especially one responsible for stopping bootlegging)

Word origin

From revenue + -er, reflecting the U.S. Treasury Department's former Bureau of Internal Revenue (a predecessor of the IRS and ATF), because the administrative mechanism for enforcing Prohibition originated in excise tax administration; Wikipedia gives details at Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives § History.

Used in a sentence

  • ‘Mister, if yo're another revenuer, I kin tell ye y'aint gonna leave this valley alive.’
  • I don’t know, but I should start by gettin’ me a rifle: we got the reveneurs a-comin’.
