The word "fly"

meatyogre

So I thought this was some 80s slanguage, but I just heard the word on Skip Jackson's "I'm Onto You" saying "you think you're so fly girl.... I'm onto you" etc. How did this word originate?

From the dictionary of slang:

1. a policeman (various usages since mid-1800's)
2. a wanton woman; a prostitute (brittish since late 1800's)
3. to take narcotics habitually (US drug culture mid 1900's)
4. to experience a high (US drug culture mid 1900's)
