Blah, blah, blah vs. yada, yada, yada...

[BileStew]

I was having a convo with someone, and we agreed that there's a difference between blah blah blah and yada yada. When you say blah blah blah, you're just saving the other person from the rest of the boring details. But when you say yada yada, you're hiding something unpleasant or embarrassing.

What do you all think?

You know, I can relate to that and all the other blah, yada, blah, yada.

Saying "blah blah blah" suggests also that the skipped content might be over the recipient's head.

Whereas "yada yada" implies regardless of content, the user isn't intended to hear it.

Saying, "Well you know where that leads...." means the speaker really doesn't understand the content he's skipping, but hopes that the recipient will not only understand the skipped content, but also explain it to him/her.

I'll say blah blah to imply boring details, and I usually save yada yada when I don't feel like explaining everything in detail.

So I'd say, "I came home, checked my email, blah blah blah." But if someone were to ask me about my day, I might say, "Well... you know... a couple a-holes driving like idiots, saw some nards with purses over their shoulder being helped off the ice, yada yada yada."

I'll say if the subject was worth mentioning then don't waste my time filling it with nonsence.
Yada Yada Yada BAH Humbug!
