yada-yada
You know, whatever
Yada-yada (also yada yada yada) substitutes for tedious or predictable details the speaker doesn't want to bother reciting: We met at a party, started talking, yada-yada, now we're engaged.
The reduplication suggests droning continuation.
It can dismiss something as unimportant or gloss over details deliberately left vague.
