Sure, I'd be happy to explain! "Yada yada" is a phrase that comes from the Yiddish language, originally "yada yada yada", and it's used to indicate that what's being left out of the conversation is either boring, repetitive, or simply too long to recount in detail. It's like fast-forwarding through the mundane bits of a story to get to the good stuff.
For example, if someone tells you they made a sandwich, they could say, "I took out the bread, spread the mayo, sliced the tomatoes, yada yada, and then I ate it." The "Yada yada" in this sentence is basically skipping over the rest of the sandwich-making process because it's presumed to be common knowledge, or not crucial to the story. It's a very informal and conversational piece of language, used frequently in casual chat or a friendly setting. So next time you hear it, just know they're breezing through to the juicy details!
