I’ve heard “your fly’s up”, is that valid?

Thanks. I went with #10541584.

An old-fashioned way of saying it in English was "Adjust your dress!" When I was a boy, way back in the last century, there used to be signs saying that near the doors in mean's public toilets. The first time I saw one I thought I'd gone into a women's toilet by mistake.

:)
この文に、コメントをするのは控えようと思いつつ、ついつい。
今では、そういう(Adjust your dress!)貼り紙はないんですか?
21世紀生まれ代表 @DJ_Saidez くんは見たことある?
ちなみに、日本では、それこそ前世紀になりますが、女性の場合は「理科の窓」と言ってました。(なぜか、私は「音楽の窓」と覚えていました)

>21世紀生まれ代表 @DJ_Saidez くんは見たことある?
「Adjust your dress!」っていうのを、ない :)
でも、Jimさんはオーストラリア出身で、僕はアメリカ出身で、その違いもあるね
実は、そんなの「チャックをチェック!」紙、見たことないよ
普段に見る紙は「手を洗ってください」とか「水を流してください」とかっていうの
男だから「立って使う場合上手にしてください」っていうも見たw

That expression was very British English.

>That expression was very British English.
私もそうなのかなと思いました。「紳士であるべし」のような。

>男だから「立って使う場合上手にしてください」っていうも見たw
ありがとう。w
@CK さんもありがとう。

I'll add my version as well since it seems it's used

This is UK English. Jim, is this used in Australia, too?
[#6552215] Your flies are undone. (sundown)

@CK - "This is UK English. Jim, is this used in Australia, too?"
I've never heard the plural "flies" used that way.
I've never heard “your fly’s up” either.

I've never heard "you're fly's up" either, but if I did hear it, I would assume that it means the opposite of "you're fly's down." Maybe a caretaker taking care of someone might say "Don't worry. You're fly's up." to a patient.

In hindsight, I'll ask on HiNative to double-check, because the main example I remember, I was told by a non-native speaker, and it was to mean this and not the opposite
I get conflicting results on Google
