Yes. I think it might also mean something like "come on". And there's
also a rather good film called "Jalla Jalla" - see
http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=237129
Also, there is or used to be a radio show called "Radio Jalla" here in
Norway. Made by immigrants, and essentially making fun of the
stereotypical view of people from a minority background.
And last, but not least, "jalla" is (for some reason) sometimes used
around here (informally) in the meaning "low quality" or "not genuine"
or whatever...

To repeat something I've said on the list earlier, I believe the "J" is
short for "jalla", but that may not mean a lot to most of you...
