flying story[edit]
Where does "flying story" fit?
concerning the Raising of Lazarus:
"It is difficult to account for this fact, unless we suppose that John was actually dishonest, or that he took up, believed and recorded a flying story, which an occurrence of some kind had given rise to, but which was without any foundation in truth." [1]

- I think it means a rumour or gossip passing speedily from person to person. Equinox ◑ 11:19, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Equinox That's definitely correct, but my question is more along the lines of which definition this use of 'flying' falls under. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:22, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
