Answer 1

Órale: it literally means 'praise him,' but it's used, primarily in Mexican slang, similarly to how one might say in English 'amen to that!' or 'word.'

In parts of Mexico, it is used in a different way, to mean 'come on!'

The mispronunciation of Órale as Odelay - a technician got the name wrong - was the source of Beck's magnificent album of the same name.

Answer 2

Órale....A Mexican exhortation or exclamation. You hear the R like a D instead of an R because that is how Mexicans pronounce the R.
The Diccionario de la Real Académia Española, the Spanish counterpart of the Oxford English Dictionary, says órale is a Mexican colloquial exhortation.

In that since it is used to persuade or beg. You will hear children use it when trying to convince parents to give/allow/do something. Or you will hear a vendor use it to persuade a person to accept his price or vise-versa to persuade the seller to accept an offer.

The Real Académia does not mention the use of órale as an exclamation, but I have often heard it used in the sense of "alright!" in response to something good. eg. I bought you a new car. and the response is- ¡Órale!
And sometimes it is used in a sense similar to "wow!" in American English although now, in Mexico, it is very common for people to exclaim "¡Guau!"

Answer 3

Odelay is the title of the artist Beck's album. Misprinting of the actual Spanish word "Oralé" which means to hurry up.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I think you mean ORALE
And it basically mean Come On. People can use it in different ways.
For example in Spain ORALE is used when the guy is getting the bulls attention and taunting him to come.

I have no clue and I'm a bilingual speaker that comes from a bilingual country. Come to think about it...
