You could very happily go through life without ever saying this. 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.

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.
