Dakka?
« on: February 19, 2002, 09:28:47 PM »
My newbie-ness is showing through again.  I see this word all the time used in some sort of colloquial fashion.  Around orks a lot of the time, but not always.  Usually I'm pretty good at ferreting out the implied meanings of words in context, but this is used in a lot of different places.  Would anybody mind running down the list of meanings and uses for this word please?

ok, I know orks very well for some reasons (I think they're cool, and my friend plays them a lot). And more dakka, and dakka in general refers to the sound that a machine gun makes when shot:

DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA

you know, like shooting, and stuff. It's thrown around a lot to mean shooting, killing, shooting a lot (the ork upgrade gives weapons an extra shot), and that sound


WAAAAGH!!!!
