derived from that.

originally from the expression dat -ss, in which the targeted female derriere is said to induce an emotional response of amazement and/or attraction.

the same principle applies, except the ‘-ss’ is replaced by whatever object is source of the impression. plural version can also be used (“dem …”, see example 3).

can also be used in a sarcastic way with respect to the above utilization. (see example 4, 5)
example 1:
“hey man, have you seen this awesome dancer?”
“oh wow, dat skill.”

example 2:
friends watching starcraft 2 streams:
“dat micro”

example 3:
when a new movie/video game is released with insane graphics:
“dat cg” or “dat graphics” or “dem graphics” (plural version)

example 4:

a primitave version of the word ‘that’

is a short way of saying that mainly used in text messages. in miami fl its meaning is random..just pay attention to how its used in a sentence
example:you are walking down the street and your friends sees you..you are wearing new clothes so she says “dat”
dat = that
despite popular opinion “dat” is not only used by “lazy people.” dat can be used by anyone online when the monotonous word “that” does not suffice to convey their excitement or appreciation.
“dat riff!”
