Black Friday
Post-Thanksgiving sales
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, traditionally marking the start of the Christmas shopping season.
Retailers offer steep discounts, and stores open early—sometimes at midnight—to crowds of bargain hunters.
The name supposedly comes from stores moving "into the black" (profitability) thanks to holiday sales, though it originally described the chaos of post-Thanksgiving traffic.
I got trampled looking for deals on Black Friday.
