In the US it is the day after Thanksgiving Thursday, and marks the day when they all start Christmas shopping. I've never seen it used in a UK context before this year, we don't need any more festive triggers! |

When I heard Black Friday today it was in conjunction with Belfast and I had a panic as the only time I have heard of this expression was when over 20 bombs went off around Belfast on a Friday in the seventies. |
