It is the same difference as a Pinch and a Smidge.

The answer really depends on where you grew up and where and when you learned the kitchen.

A dollop is a large spoonfull (of usually cool-whip) ontop of somthing like pie.

A dash is litterly that, a dash. Bitters is the best example, dash the bottle and one good squirt makes it into your drink.
