outlet noun a bootlegger’s house CANADA- The euphemism “outlet” for bootlegger is due to the restrictive sale of liquor in Nova Scotia. One may get a regular bottle of beer, but pays a higher price than at the Liquor Commission. Off-premises consumption only, too, but it’s closer by. — Lewis Poteet, The South Shore Phrase Book, p. 84, 1999
