First use of the term 'Black Week' 12 years 5 days ago #16428

djb Topic Author Offline Administrator Posts: 34370 Thank you received: 5293	I have been looking for the first use of this term. The earliest I have come across is on 18 Dec 1899 when it appears in several places at the same time. This example is from the Daily News. This would suggest it originated before the 18th.
