Wikipedia

  1. flier

    A Fast Low-Ionization Emission Region, or FLIER, is a volume of gas with low ionization, moving at supersonic speeds, near the symmetry axis of many planetary nebulae. Their outflow speeds are significantly higher than the nebulae in which they are embedded, and their ionizations are much lower. FLIERs' high speeds suggest ages much younger than their parent nebulae, and their low ionizations indicate that the ultraviolet radiation that ionizes the gas around them does not penetrate into the FLIERs. The Blinking Planetary features a set of FLIERs.

  1. Flier

    The flier is a sunfish native to muddy-bottomed swamps, ponds, weedy lakes, and riverine backwaters across the American South, from southern Illinois east to the Potomac River basin and south to Texas. The flier, which can live up to five years, grows to a maximum recorded length of about 30 cm. The maximum recorded weight of the species is just over one-half kilogram. Fliers are occasionally kept in aquaria by North American native-fish fanciers. C. macropterus is currently the only species of genus Centrarchus but Lacépède had originally assigned it to Labrus. The generic name, Centrarchus, derives from the Greek κέντρον and άρχος, in reference, presumably, to the sharp spines on the anal fin. Centrarchus being the type genus of family Centrarchidae, it gives its name to the whole sunfish family. The specific name, macropterus, derives from μακρόν πτερόν. A Gato-class submarine, USS Flier, built in 1943, was named for this species. In addition, the newsletter of the Native Fish Conservancy is entitled Flier.

Chambers 20th Century Dictionary

Examples of Flier in a Sentence

  1. Anne Morrow Lindbergh:

    There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas.

    My cello has his own frequent flier account.

  3. Brian Kelly:

    Most airlines now issue more frequent flier miles from credit cards and airline partners than they do from actually flying, for people who say, ‘I’m not a frequent traveler,’ that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have an airline or other credit card.

  4. Christopher M. Carr:

    The Justice Department is wrong: factually, legally and constitutionally. Georgia's law clearly strengthens security, expands access and improves transparency in our elections. Merrick Garland said he was going to depoliticize the Justice Department yet files this blatantly political lawsuit, it is disappointing for those of us who respect the rule of law, because this is not a lawsuit, it is a political campaign flier. Falsely using race to scare people of color into believing their vote will not be counted is irresponsible and fundamentally wrong.

  5. Rick Garlick:

    A few frequent flier programs stand out from the rest, these programs share the common quality of engaging passengers who may not spend as much money as the road warrior business traveler. Everyone wants to feel that rewards are obtainable and these programs are structured to make even a leisure traveler feel the incentive for frequent travel is within reach.
