Etymology
Through Helsinki slang, attested since the early 20th century. Apparently borrowed from Russian даю́ (dajú, “I give (a beating)”), conjugated form of Russian дава́ть (davátʹ, “to give”) in the expression Russian даю по морде (daju po morde, “to beat up”, literally “to give to the face”). Compare mortu (“face”) from old Vyborg slang.
