Subject: yadda, yadda, yadda

I'm seeing this term showing up in print a lot since "Seinfeld" did a whole
show around it. Was this a common term before that episode? Is my
perception about its expanded use one that is shared by others. Here's a
quote employing the term from a list that I'm on--if anyone wants the exact
citation, I'll get it.

<<All this rubbish about how we're somehow different from them, that
there are "two cultures," yadda, yadda, yadda, is ultimately
self-destructive.>>
