What does 댑따 mean?

Is '댑따' a slang word? I thought it might be short for '대박' and another word, because I can't find a definition...

    yeah, it's kind of slang. But 댑따 is different from 대박, though they have similar meaning. "뎁따 or 딥따 or 댑따" come from the word, '들입다'. when '드립다' is pronounced quickly, it sounds like 뎁따.
    here is definition of '들입다'. Try do understand:)

    들입다[--따] >>adverb
    ?세차게 마구. 또는 무리하게 힘을 들여서. ( violently, severely.)
    1들입다 뛰다
    2이번 일은 들입다 고생만 했지 보람이 없다.
    3그는 목이 탔는지 물을 입에 들입다 부었다.
    4미처 이야기가 끝나기도 전에 그는 들입다 화부터 냈다.

    But. we rarely use the word 들입다 itself in conversation, shortened form is generally used.

    (if you find any mistake here in my answer, please correct it. thank you.)

    I think it's slang and means "very" or "very quickly"

    e.g.
    나는 뎁따 빨리 먹었다= I ate very quickly
    뎁따 덥다 = It's very hot


    \^o^/

    There's another one that sounds very close to this

    냅다 - means with all one's mights
