In the US Black Friday is the Friday following the Thanksgiving holiday 
which is always on a Thursday.  It represents the start of the Christmas 
shopping season and is often accompanied by stores opening at all hours 
of day or night and having crazy sales... such things as a TV set 
selling for 1 cent... but maybe only one and to the first person in 
line.  There are multiple theories on the origin of the name but I have 
always assumed it referred to the accounting definition.  See Wiki

That you don't know what it means is maybe a good thing.  :-)
