It comes from an old accounting standard of posting losses using red ink and gains using black ink. Retailers often have not made any profits all year up until this, the busiest shopping day of the year - so now they can use black ink on the profit reports.

In the US, Thanksgiving always falls on a Thursday, so many people take the following Friday off from work, and many of these people use the day to buy Christmas presents.

Because of this, historically, the Friday after Thanksgiving brings in more money for retail stores than any other day of the year. And because retail sales are also very high in December, "Black Friday" can often mark the point at which a store goes from having a net loss for the year (or being "in the red") to a net profit (or being "in the black"), which takes its meaning from the traditional way of recording account ledgers: black ink would be used for positive entries, and red ink would be used for negative entries.

Mark: ....you gave him a hand?

Jeremy: ...I helped him out.

Mark: ...you helped him out...by giving him a hand?

Jeremy: *Nods*

Mark: ...wow...just to be clear, you do mean: *gestures with hand*

Jeremy: Yessss...

It would be hilarious. :D We should all have a secret club and PM the next theme to each other every week. We could all be grapes one week. Then we could all be weenahs. Then raptor-jesuses. The new people would be so confused... And that would be great. :danana:

Another random meaningless anouncement:

The Back to the Future universe is geocentric. Whenever they move in time, the Earth hasn't moved at all.

In the real universe, when Marty McFly goes back in time, he'd suffocate in the vacuum of space because the Earth was some place completely different in 1955.

That is all.
