Black friday?

Wow, it looks like everyone is just a wee bit...ethno-centric...!

While the term Black Friday does refer to the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, that is hardly the only "Black Friday" in history.

Another reference: March 12, 1993, and a series of bomb blasts in Mumbai, India.

If you were born on March 12 or even March 12, 1993.... that's just when you were born. An unlucky coincidence (or perhaps a lucky one if you had family killed on that day and are thinking in terms of the birth-death-rebirth cycle), but I've certainly never heard of anything to suggest it's anything else.

(Incidentally, the term Black Friday also has other meanings. For example, the term is used to refer to crashes in the financial markets, for one thing. In British labor law it also refers to a (1921) decision by some industry not to call for a strike in support of miners. Etc.)

Black Friday refers to making a great profit in retail the day after Thanksgiving. There is no black friday in March.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, marks the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season, although retailers often decorate for the Christmas season weeks before-hand. Black Friday is frequently but erroneously referred to in the media as the busiest retail shopping day of the year.
Some anti-consumerists believe it is nothing more than a marketing ploy to accentuate the sales, while marginalizing the crowds, lines, and franticness of this day.

Black Friday is only once a year in November. Are you talking about Friday the 13th?

Black Friday is in November, the day after Thanksgiving Day that marks the informal beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Many major sellers have large advertising sales to begin the vacation shopping season.

Black Friday has actually ended up being that popular in conventional traditionals establishments that people line up for hours and there is lots of push and pushing and even violence. Why would you wait in a long line, be pushed and pushed simply to save a few bucks when online websites like Amazon have huge Black Friday sales and it's a stress complimentary environment.
