It was another black Friday last week and sat down on my computer, seeing the whole website offering discounts and am sure a lot of shoppers are on the edge of shopping for the Christmas period.So as a curious troublemaker, i decided to check why we have a good-time as "Black Friday". All the words that have "black" as prefix are not so good, while is the one for Friday different?
Some words with black as prefix includes :
blackmails
blacksmith
blacklist
Black Monday
Black Friday...
Those words might not make much of a meaning to you until you google or bing them. But I won't be going over the words. I am interested in Black Friday.
Right since I was 16years old, I have always reminisced about the word "Black Friday" . It is the only word with black that seems to be a good day, until the Knicks player, J.R Smith shared something on his twitter account.
Of course, a lot of people have come forward to deny the allegation, but it looks like the black Friday history might be right. Looks like nothing good is going to come out of the prefix "Black". Notice in Billiard, the white ball pushes the other ball around, and when you punch in the black ball at the wrong time, the game comes to an end.
I am not saying all these are totally right, but I am also sure there is no smoke without fire.
