Pretty fly for a baller

Today for no reason in particular I was listening to a 1950’s beatnik poetry record. It turns out that “baller” isn’t new slang invented by the hip-hop crowd. Itʼs at least ¾ of a century old.
I guess itʼs just like “fly” goes back to Victorian times. Nothing is new.
I’ve read that pretty much 50% of the idioms in the English language is owed to Shakespeare and the Bible.
