Dale Earnhardt, a NASCAR driver with a very impressive moustache, who died in 2001.
Immortalized by Wal Mart employees, wife-beater collectors, and trailer dwelling folk the world over, his full name was shortened to the one word "Dale", in the same way as "Pele", "MJ", or "
Larry the Cable Guy" has been in the past. Also known as the intimidator, due to a combination of his willingness to ram into people, and for said impressive moustache.
Said supporters are easily spotted as they will generally have a sticker showing his number 3 with
angel wings sticking out of it. Another form of the word, "Daaaaaaaaale!" is often uttered by sad lonely men in country bars "down south".
Chap one: "I say, you appear to be rather
depressed.
Would you like to talk about what's making you so sad?"
Chap two, crying: "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale!"
Chap one: "I do enjoy a good car race, but these chaps don't seem to know how to turn right."
Chap two: "Y'know who could? Dale. Git R done,
boogity boogity, boogity!"
