I invented YADDA YADDA. in 1971 when i was in college four guys across the hall were brainstorming someones assignment to come up with a new word or saying. I suggested YADDA YADDA. they didn't like it , but I did . ilater, in nyc, I worked with DON IMUS at WNBC radio. I used it around him and CHARLES McCORD and told them of its origin. in 1986 I was a stage manager at MTV . JOE DAVOLA brought by JERRY SEINFELD for a tour of the studio .while talking with jerry I used YADDA YADDA.
It's amazing how this idiom has been engraved into American English. Whether it means to have sexual intercourse in Hebrew or not, it's most commonly referred to as a replacement for the phrase "and so on, and so forth." Whether this is true in all parts of the country, I have no idea, but I certainly have experienced numerous school teachers using it in such a manner...
That's because after Seinfeld the colloquialism got put into the dictionary as a substitute for Blah Blah Blah. I didn't know what it meant but I knew it was Yiddish. However I had heard this saying for years used as a blah blah blah or just to pass an amount of time in a story. For example. I went to the bar next thing you know yada yada yada I woke up next to a pig and a Chinese hooker with a hair lip.
The three second video is just to see how many asses actually take the time to leave comments. I have tallied up the count and you are asshole number one!
