Fly well
Hi,
I came across this expression "I may do something that may not fly well with someone" online. This "fly well" is just a part that I don't really understand. I goggled, but it didn't work. Could you tell me about this?

That idiom generally means that the 'something' was not agreeable with the other person. They probably didn't like it. " meaning she didn't like the idea at all, to her it meant that I thought she was getting fat and needed to lose some weight.

Thank you, chipw. Now I understand the meaning.
That is mostly used in the past tense and with a negative word. Is this interpretation right?
