A company asked me about the correct spelling for the plural of dumbbell fly. Is it dumbbell flys or flyes? I have seen it both ways (Why isn't it flies?).

It would only be "flies" if you didn't hold them properly. :lol:

It's "flys" in books I own, though it's a good question for a Christmas trivia quiz.

I think that flyes looks more aesthetically pleasing. :lol:
