RE: [Finale] Blowing O.T.

[Ken Durling]

As long as we're talking about slang superlatives, I'd like to hear some 
theories about where "fly" came from or how it came to mean what it 
does.   I was surprised to read that it was in usage in the 30's - in 
Duke's "Music is my Mistress" with much the same meaning (fly girl) as it 
has now, or well, at least it did in the 70's.  I suppose it's gone 
now.  And don't tell me it's an acronym for "Fine Lady, Young."  ;-)
