Black - definition of Black in Encyclopedia (774 words)
The term fl is often used in the West to denote "race" for persons whose skin color actually ranges from pale to dark shades of brown, and overlaps with some people that might be classified as "whites".
However, to say one's accounts are "in the fl" is used to mean that one is free of debt; being "in the red" is to be in debt—because in traditional bookkeeping, negative amounts were printed in red ink (such as losses) and positive amounts (such as profits) were printed in fl ink.
In these cultures, the color fl is often seen as the color of mourning, though this convention is less strict than in earlier times, when widows and widowers were expected to wear fl for a year after the death of their spouses.
