It's a weird consistency that I keep wanting to disprove, but when someone says the words 'blah blah blah' when recounting an interaction, they end up behaving in a dishonorable way down the line. Don't know why, but it's become a quiet red flag that makes me watch more closely what I say and what I hear.

This was kind of a Seinfeld episode. George is dating a woman who used "yada, yada, yada" to gloss over stories, and when he investigates it ends up that she's using it to hide actual criminal behavior.

I was reminded of a quote I remember from that episode! “You can’t yadda yadda the best part!”
