blah blah blah

Tedious filler talk

Blah blah blah represents empty, boring, or tedious speech—words that aren't worth repeating verbatim.

It dismisses what someone said as unimportant: He gave me some excuse, blah blah blah.

It can also skip over predictable content: You know the drill—fill out the form, sign here, blah blah blah.
