Meanings
plural taximen
- A male taxi driver.
As I very much wanted to travel on the line, it unfortunately was necessary to add considerably to the finances of a very genial Irish taximan, who thought me quite mad when I directed him to the station at Ballycastle, as this could only take me back once again to Ballymoney.
