With regards to 'ta', isn't it just a casual way of saying 'thanks'? That's what it means in British English. In Britain, it's mostly used in the North of England. Here's an example of it being used from a British advert from the 90s:

As for 'daggy', it strikes me that it's the kind of loosely-defined word that ends up being a useful filler word. Much like 'cool', I suspect you can't really define it without knowing the context in which its used. Would you say daggy has one meaning or multiple overlapping meanings?
