“Black Friday”
Glossary
Definition: The day after Thanksgiving in the United States, is frequently referred to as Black Friday.
General Use: One of the major U.S. holiday shopping days. The day many U.S. consumers begin Christmas shopping. The day is heavily promoted by retailers.
Origin: The origin of Black Friday comes from the shift to profitability during the holiday season. Black Friday was when retailers went from being unprofitable, or "in the red," to being profitable, or "in the black", at a time when accounting records were kept by hand and red indicated loss and black profit.

OF--In the U.S. at least, it's the one day a year that people will stand out in sometimes sub-arctic temperatures, in line for hours, in front of discount stores who open at 4:00 a.m. and which only have enough of the advertised products to satisfy the first 1.264 customers--in order that the rest of the 2350829820598325 people in line can growl, snarl, and run over each other with carts as the "official" start of the Christmas season begins.
