Der erste Eintrag :

"dullie" findet Cambridge nicht, aber wie wäre der Bezug zu:

dully adverb (LACKING INTEREST)

in a way that is boring and not exciting:

Most of the work consisted of dully repetitive tasks.

...

Was murmeln wir im Deutschen vor uns hin, wenn wir ausmisten, z.B. vom Zeitungsstapel eine nach der anderen in die Hand nehmen, wegnehmen, entweder pseudogelangweilt (pseudo-, weil das Sich-Trennen von Dingen ja vielen emotional so schwerfällt), oder in echt gelangweilt, wenn wir also ein Ding nach dem anderen, repetitiv, vom Stapel in die Altpapierkiste fallenlassen?

Vielleicht sagen wir:

• weg - weg - weg
• kann weg - kann weg - kann weg ....
• weg damit - weg damit - weg damit ...

zack - zack - zack könnte ja auch passen, aber klingt zackiger als wenn man "bored or not excited" ist.

Da ich die englische Formulierung nicht kenne (abgesehen von "sth. is dull", "dull als Adjektiv"), ist Obiges nur geraten - tut mir leid.

'¡Dale!' is much more wide-spread than just Argentina. I would have said it's heard throughout the Spanish-speaking world, with a range of different meanings depending on context and region. Apparently it's also used a lot in Miami, where it was adopted from Cuban Spanish. Just a guess, of course, but it strikes me as one of the more plausible explanations so far (certainly more likely than the 'adverb for dull' theory – I'd be extremely surprised to hear anyone say 'dully, dully, dully' in the situation you describe).

(Haha, looks like there's a Mexican reality show on Netflix called '¡Dale, dale, dale!', about piñatas. I might give that one a miss.)

How to use the word 'dale' as illustrated with a Cuban party platter

https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/...

Dale, like so many words and expressions in Spanish, has a fluid definition that varies among countries and cultures. Pronounced "Dah-lay," it essentially means "give it" or "go ahead" in English. It can be a nod of encouragement or a forceful demand. It's also flirtatious, a warm coo of a sexual invitation. It has always been popular in Latino culture, but Pitbull has helped introduce it to a more mainstream audience.

(But the whole article is interesting)

(from 1:45 onwards, described as "the quintessential [...] word/phrase", "the ultimate filler word", an "all-encompassing word", "basically, if you're having a conversation with a Cuban and you don't know what to respond, chances are 'dale' is an appropriate answer")

Mir kommt gerade die Idee, dass dann eine gute Übersetzung von "dale, dale, dale" aus dem Englischen ins Deutsche "yalla, yalla, yalla" wäre. 😉
