/Sounds like "DAH" (as in "dart") + "leh" (as in "let") + "PWEHS"/

“¿Nos vemos a las siete? Dale pues, ahí estaré.”
“Meet at seven? Sure thing, I'll be there.”
“Dale pues, te ayudo con eso sin problema.”
“Sure, I'll help you with that, no problem at all.”

Detrás del palo
A Costa Rican expression for being out of the loop, missing information that everyone else already knows. "Estás detrás del palo, mae" tells someone they arrived late to reality. Used half-teasing, half-affectionate, depending on how close you are to the person.
