Is there something rather distinctive in its Goan use like "Merry
Christmas to you and fly" as perhaps a distinctive Goan abbreviation for
family?

Dear Cornel,
I don't think that 'fly' as an abbreviation for 'family' is
distinctively or uniquely Goan, as it is used all over India. I am
not aware of usage in the West though. As Selma keeps pointing out I
have not been around as much as her and should therefore not be
commenting on such matters. But I am pretty sure 'fly' is used in
other countries too.
Cheers!
Cecil
