The terms "black eye" and "shiner" both refer to a bruising around the eye, typically resulting from trauma or injury. A "black eye" describes the dark discoloration that occurs due to bleeding under the skin, while "shiner" is a colloquial term that originated from the appearance resembling a shiny, dark mark. Both terms are used interchangeably in casual conversation to describe the same condition.
