Definition

The slang term "fly" initially emerged from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) in the 1950s to praise someone's sharp appearance or confident demeanor. It eventually peaked in mainstream popularity during the late 1980s and into the early 1990s, especially in hip-hop and urban culture.
