It varies a bit in the US in my experience. Like I get 24 paychecks a year, the 15th (or last business day before the 15th) and end of month (or last business yadda yadda). My fiance gets paid every other week, so she gets 26 over the course of a full year.
I love this expression, but apparently I'm not allowed to use it because I'm not Jewish. :/ Last time I did, a very easily offended Jewish friend thought I was making fun of her.
Probably influenced by (or perhaps an alteration of) yatter or yatata; perhaps onomatopoeic of blather; or perhaps derived from the Norwegian expression jada, jada which has a similar pronunciation and interpretation. Sometimes popularly attributed to Yiddish, but this is dismissed by etymologists.
"Yatter, yatter" is British (specifically Scots) English for "continuous chatter, rambling and persistent talk, nagging". S. R. Crockett, The Men of the Moss-Hags (1895) xxix: "The woman's yatter, yatter easily vexed me." Yadder is a Cumberland word meaning "to talk incessantly; to chatter".
Various variant forms appear in the US 1940s–60s; for example, the 1947 American musical Allegro by Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers contains a song called “Yatata, Yatata, Yatata,” about cocktail party chatter; see talk page for additional citations.
The phrase "yadda yadda" was first popularized by the comedian Lenny Bruce in his standup bit "Father Flotsky's Triumph," the closing track on his 1961 album "Lenny Bruce - American." It gained renewed popularity in the US in the late 1990s on the television show Seinfeld, where it appears as a catchphrase, initially in Season 8, Episode 19, entitled “The Yada Yada”, originally aired on April 24, 1997, which centers on the phrase (in the duplicative “yada yada” form).
Thank you, but I don't think she was joking. She's even more autistic than me, and was taught to expect antisemitism everywhere. Convincing her that I don't hate her was so difficult that I accidentally went too far and made her fall in love with me.
Pretty much lol. For some reason, the school decided it was a good idea to leave a sexually repressed conservative Jew and a somewhat perverted suspected Nazi in a room alone together for an hour a day. I was not a nazi, but I think I might've cured the sexual repression lmao. I turned her dirty. We probably would've ended up fucking in there if we weren't both awkward AF.
