blah blah

Meaningless droning on

Blah blah (also *blah blah blah*) represents tedious, meaningless, or predictable speech—a placeholder for words not worth repeating.

It dismisses what someone said as uninteresting or summarizes droning content: He went on about budgets, blah blah blah.

It can signal impatience with expected formalities: I know, I know—be careful, blah blah.
