It's a slang word - and as such it's use can be very hard to explain and you'd probably end up using it inappropriately. It's certainly not commonly used slang either; I can't think when I last heard it. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all.

	Eimai_Anglos  +  390516 Tue, 10 Jul 07 09:21 PM The correct spelling is "fellow", although you may see it written as "fellah" or "fella" and it is often pronounced as "fella". The word "fellow" has fallen out of fashion but it used to be used a lot in the context "I know a fellow who might help you." Or "I know a fellow who has a dog for sale". An exact equivalent is "chap" but, nowadays "guy" is more often heard. However, I believe that the word "guy" comes originally from America. Back in the nineteen fifties (and earlier) the word "fellow" was not considered to be slang or colloquial. It was used directly in place of "man".
