unzipped fly

Embarrassing pants situation

An unzipped fly is trousers with the zipper down, exposing the wearer's underwear or genitals—usually unintentionally and embarrassingly.

Telling someone their fly is unzipped is an awkward social courtesy: Hey, your fly is down.

The phrase XYZ (examine your zipper) is a discreet way to alert someone.
