This disambiguation page was marked for cleanup per MOS:DAB. I removed the following entries:
Removed for being more suitable at The Fly:

Removed per MoS:DAB#Examples of individual entries that should not be created:

  • The Human Fly (comics), a fictional supervillain appearing in the Marvel Comics
  • Mouche, French for 'fly' the insect
  • Fly tower, the tower over the stage in a theatre; flies can refer to this or to a storage area to the side of the stage

  • "Human Fly", a song by The Cramps
  • Flywheel, a rotating disk used to store kinetic energy
  • Fly ball, a ball that is hit into the air in baseball

Moved to wikt:flies:

  • The flies of a theater (the plural is always used) refers to the open area above a stage where scenery and equipment may be hung. A theater employee in charge of manipulating items hung here is known as a flyman.

[edit] Not a dictionary

I removed the slang term, there's no wikilink, so we can't disambiguate to a specific page, and wikipedia is not a dictionary. WLU (talk) 21:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
