Seinfeld Episode #183- "Yada,Yada,Yada" re-popularized old slang expression.

"Yada yada"
 Look up yada yada yada inWiktionary, the free dictionary.

The episode is one of the most famous of the series, specifically for its focus on the phrase "yada yada". "Yadda yadda" was already a relatively common phrase before the episode aired, used notably by comedian Lenny Bruce,  among others. The phrase may have originated with the 1950s "yackety-yack", 1940s vaudeville, and earlier.
