Origin of the word flies

"Flies in" comes from the phrase "flies in under the radar," meaning to move unnoticed or secretly. "Radar" refers to radio detection and ranging, which was used during World War II to detect enemy aircraft. Things that "fly under the radar" are not detected by this technology, and thus go unnoticed. The phrase later evolved to encompass any situation where someone or something avoids attention, even without a literal radar involved.
