flyer

Paper ad handout

A flyer is a printed sheet distributed to advertise or announce something: Someone was handing out flyers on the corner.

A flyer is also someone or something that flies—a pilot, a passenger, or a fast-moving person or vehicle: She's a frequent flyer.

To take a flyer is to take a risk or make a speculative gamble.

Also spelled flier.
