Ads on paper
Fliers is the plural of flier.
A flier is a person or thing that flies—a pilot, a passenger on an aircraft, or a flying creature.
A flier is also a printed handbill for advertising or announcements: They handed out fliers for the concert.
To take a flier is to take a speculative risk.
Also spelled flyers.
