The most commonly repeated story behind the post-Thanksgiving shopping-related Black Friday tradition links it to retailers. As the story goes, after an entire year of operating at a loss (“in the red”) stores would supposedly earn a profit (“went into the black”) on the day after Thanksgiving, because holiday shoppers blew so much money on discounted merchandise.

An idiom is a phrase used to represent something that has nothing to do with it and is not literal. For example: raining cats and dogs means it's raining hard and not literally raining animals. Seething with rage is not an idiom as seethe basically means mad or angry. Angry or mad with rage can be literal and is not an idiom.
