arcxjo:Everything seems quite clear ("kribel, krabel, bum" made me laugh thoughYada yada yada is a stand-in phrase mainly used to elide a tiresome, predictable, irrelevant or inconvenient part of a story that is being recounted informally.), but what does 'yaddah-yaddah-yaddah' mean?
From the Seinfeld episode:
George: Well, we were engaged to be married, uh, we bought the wedding invitations, and, uh, yada yada yada, I'm still single.It's function is very similar to the phrase (to make a) long story short. For example I went shopping today, and long story short, can I borrow $20 for dinner?
...
Marcy: Speaking of ex's, my old boyfriend came over late last night, and, yada yada yada, anyway. I'm really tired today.
I guess it is onomatopoeia because yada yada yada sort of resembles the sound of someone relating a tedious story.

Thanks for spelling it out, benanhalt.
I guess it is onomatopoeia because yada yada yada sort of resembles the sound of someone relating a tedious story.Although it actually doesn't have to be one (Damir has also listed non-onomatopoeic interjections, such as 'bis!'), you're probably right - it sounds somewhat resemblant, I think.
