The Friday after Thanksgiving in which the American retail industry booms as the Holiday shopping season "officially" starts. It is marked by extended store hours, and consumer competetition in order to take advantage of the numerous discounts and specials.
The name comes from the fact that many businesses make gains for their yearly profits, putting it in the "black" ink as opposed to the red ink, which they often operate on in the months preceding Black Friday.
Another theory or application of the name is that in a sense it is the exact opposite of Black Tuesday, in that the retail economy booms as opposed to collapsing as it did in 1929 on Black Tuesday.
Have you seen the sales at Acme Inc. for Black Friday? We need to go to bed early on Thanksgiving so we can get up in time to beat the crowds there.

A time at the end of the week where bros get together to discuss important subjects and congregate in sexually appealing activities. These activities could include Game of Thrones, Gears of War, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pandemic, midnight Macs runs, or nacho making. Also, forking.
Bro #1: Dude, it's Sexy Friday!
Bro #2: What are we gonna do tonight, bruv?
Bro #1: Gears and Thrones, obv!

The day after Thanksgiving, on which thousands of people flock to the stores like lemmings, risking getting trampled just to save a few dollars even though they have a whole month to do their Christmas shopping.
Also of note: retailers sometimes understock the shelves to create an illusion of scarcity. That "last item in the store" that you just bought was probably one of many "last items" sitting in the store room.
Black Friday makes complete nuts out the sanest people; mothers will kill each other just to get a doll for little Suzie.

1. The craziest shopping day, and the highest store revenue day of the year.
2. The friday after Thanksgiving traditionally used an economic indicator of America's economy.
1. Hey, I almost got hung because I grabbed the last Xbox 360!
2. Business teacher: This friday is black friday and we will see how this economy is REALLY doing.

A day stores use as an excuse to have crazy sales and open extreamly early that can result in anger, frustration, physical harm, and even death to customers and employees of said stores

The craziest day for people in the retail industry. Traditionally stores have a huge sale the day after Thanksgiving where they open their stores at five in the f*****g morning, and people line up outside the store doors to the end of the country for some sort of savings. People have actually been killed on Black Friday... how f****d up is that? It's just another one of the embarrassments of the human race.
Consumers have a love/hate relationship with it, people, who work in stores hate it, and corporate owners of store franchises love it because their yearly profits go up. Black Friday got it's name because the stores profits go from being in the "red zone" to the "black zone." This day and the Christmas season (month of December) is used to make up for the 11 months of lost sales.
Executive: "Sir our Black Friday sales for Walmart are at an all time high this year."
Walmart President: "Good, good. Yes I see those morons on the television killing each other to buy their Tickle-Me-Elmo dolls. Our plans to run out small business and rule the world are beginning to succeed. Gentlemen! Let us raise our glasses in a toast to evil."
