Definition
A flier is a small sheet of paper used to advertise something, such as an event or product. It can also mean a person who flies, especially in an aircraft.
Usage & Nuances
In American English, "flier" usually means an advertising leaflet. British English commonly spells it "flyer" for both meanings. It is informal in the advertising sense. As a noun, it can also mean someone who flies (e.g., a pilot or frequent airline passenger). Avoid confusing with "flyer" (spelling varies, but meanings are similar). Common in phrases like "take a flier" (take a risk).
