I am obviously a genius. Wether good or evil, well, that all depends on what I had for breakfast.

Guns and the sound they make. It can be used for either. It tends not to be used for large cannons, but can be.
There was a dictionary in the 3rd ed codex.

Automatic weapons fire.
In comic books, you will sometimes see this illustrated as "buddabuddabuddabudda".

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised. |

From the fine folk over at 1d4chan
Dakka is Ork slang for rapid fire capability, based on the onomatopoeia for automatic guns shooting. You need moar of it. No exceptions. Although they too need it, when other races use it, it's just not cool anymore. Must have something to do with that rockin' Ballistic Skill 2 that da Orks are throwing down.
Exception: Dakkafex=Butthurt

Several other non-Orky races in Warhammer 40,000 have at least one weapon that relies on Dakka to be effective.
Imperium: Multilasers, Hellguns, Leman Russ Punisher, Autoguns, Autopistols, Heavy Bolters, Storm Bolters, Assault Cannons, Combi-bolters, Autocannons, Vulcan Megabolters, Psycannons, Heavy Stubbers.
Chaos: Harvester Guns, Mawcannons, Butcher Cannons, Storm Lasers, Reaper Auto-cannons, Autoguns, Autopistols, Heavy Stubbers, Shotguns, Heavy Bolters
Eldar: Scatter Lasers, Twin Shuriken Catapults, Shuriken Cannon.
Tau: Burst Cannons, Cyclic Ion Guns, and to a lesser extent Ion Cannons
Necron: Gauss Cannons, Gauss Blasters, and Tesla Destructors.
Tyranid: Devourers, Biocannons, Deathspitters.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
Orks always ride in single file to hide their strength and numbers.

as stated it is both a term used to represent firepower (usually heavy repeating) and the way Orks describe the sound automatic guns make when firing.

Fixture of Dakka

From Waaargh! The Orks, page 95 (Orkish Root Words):
"Daka: attack, noisy weapon, shoot, fight".
You can see the glyph at the Lexicanum Ork Language page .

The Last Chancer Who Survived

It comes from the verbal terminology used by the Orks in Warhammer 40k (rather than the Orcs of WHFB).
It is used to mean "guns", "ammo", "shooting", and sometimes "explosives/explosion(s)".
It sounds rather like an Ork weapon firing rapidly, which is how the Orks came to use this "word".
