PLUS, TODAY WE CELEBRATE: Yada, Yada, Yada Day

International Yada Yada Yada Day is celebrated on July 23rd every year. The day is a nod to the Seinfeld episode titled “The Yada Yada” where a character uses the phrase to gloss over details she considers unimportant. The phrase “yada yada yada” is often used as an interjection to refer to boring or empty talk, or words that are too predictable to repeat. After the episode aired, the phrase became a household substitute for “blah-blah-blah”.
