I want to know when it became obligatory to refer to the day after Thanksgiving as "Black Friday" in the first place. I think the first time I ever heard it was about 10 years ago. I've always known it's a big shopping day, but I grow beyond weary of this apparent need to come up with cutesy names for everything.
