flying low
Hugging the terrain
Flying low is a euphemistic way of telling someone their zipper is down, exposing their underwear or more: Hey, you're flying low.
The phrase plays on the image of a plane flying beneath radar—something that should be higher is dangerously low.
Less commonly, flying low can mean keeping a low profile or staying under the radar in a more general sense.
