Other forms: flying; flew; flies; flown; flied; flyingly

Fly describes moving through the air, like birds that fly in the sky, or getting something accepted, like your silly excuse that’s not going to fly with your history teacher.

Fly means «move through the air with wings,» and it describes the movement of birds, airplanes, kites, and other things that float or move of their own accord above the ground. There are many other meanings of fly, including a buzzing insect with wings, a baseball hit high across a field, and the zipper on a pair of pants. As an adjective, fly means cool, though there’s no guarantee it’s still fly to use it.
