To describe anything bad or controversial or whatever. It's unoriginal, unlike this thread idea which is 100% original. Glad I thought of it.

I thought they were called black because of the color of their skin?

The name comes from the standard time in which retailers went from in the red to in the black. It's a day where people get really good deals.

The experience isn't for me or you, but that's because we are rich. It's great for all those poor people who can't afford a $30 webcam.

I also despise use of the word "czar" as a prefix for any job in charge of a certain subject.

What about the over use of "literally" or saying it when they really mean figuratively?

What's a nubian?

This version, yes.

When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road
When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be
Don't let it fall on me

When Black Friday comes
I'll fly down to Muswellbrook
Gonna strike all the big red words
From my little black book
Gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed
All the kangaroos
When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill
You know I will

When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it 'til
I satisfy my soul
Gonna let the world pass by me
The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me
And if he don't come across
I'm gonna let it roll
When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna stake my claim
I'll guess I'll change my name

the only time it was appropriate was "watergate" since that was the name of the building; and "heaven's gate", because that was the name of the movie. "warren gate" was fucking funny. so was "kevin's gate". haha.
