Thread Name: BS: Look your flies are open
Subject: RE: BS Look your flies are open
Yeah, over here in the US you only get one fly per pair of pants. More often we'll say "your fly is down" rather than "your fly is open". Cutely oblique phrases such as "XYZ" are commonly used by those who don't wish to embarrass their friends by announcing the faux pas to the world.

But when your flies are "open" in the UK, do you "close" them or"shut" them?
