noun. Someone who has previously worked as a bike messenger but is no longer earning a living from it.
A portmanteau of the prefix "
ex-" and "messenger", an exenger may or may not wear the clothing or equipment associated with
bicycle couriers.
Typically, an exenger will have the skills and experience to distinguish themselves from a fakenger or a posenger. This is sometimes not immediately apparent, especially if the cyclist is a Fixie La
Douche style of exenger.
Bill is the king of the exengers. Although he hasn't been a courier since the 80's he still rides a fixie, wears a messenger
bag and rolls the
leg of his trousers up. He can track stand and roll a
cigarette at the same time.
