Best Answer

You might be referring to "duh." It is kind of an expression of disgust, but it is used when something is obvious.

"Da" in American slang can also mean "the" as in the phrase, "You da bomb!" meaning "You are the bomb" or "You are very cool."

"Dah" with an H can have another meaning in Southern slang. For example, in Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Jim said "dah" when he meant "there."

What do you mean by TA DA?

1) Ta Da is a web 2.0 service that allows you to create lists that can be private, shared or collaborative.2) "Ta Da" is also an expression used to mean "here it is" or "surprise." It is often used in magic shows upon the act of making some object appear "out of thin air." In this situation the magician will announce "TA DA!!!" as he pulls the rabbit out of a hat or some other such silliness. We use the nonsense words "Ta Da!" because the orchestra that usually played during a magic show or burlesque act always seemed to play the same phrase to indicate a surprise ending ... the phrase was two short horn blasts that sound something like "Ta Da!"
