are these "real" words yet?

bling-bling 161kg (161,000 google hits)
bada-bing 43.8kg
yadda-yadda-yadda 53.9kg
metrosexual 69.8kg

for comparison,
postmodernism 337kg
deconstruction 308kg
meme 2160kg

well I have heard that it's just "bling" now, no need for repetition...
I suppose there are likely spelling variations, for the others, as well?

here are some that (it can be argued) haven't made it yet; although they get many hits (and I've used these to accommodate OneLook enquiries :).

twitterpated 9.8kg
trepidacious 383g
confusticate 2.8kg
verklempt 3.8kg (variations abound)

We're producing The King and I at my school, as a few of you know.

I like thinking about updating the dialogue, and instead of the King's saying, "Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera," he could say,
"Yadda dadda dadda." It would change the flavor of the character altogether, but, oh, what fun to read someone's satirical development there!

I saw Yul Brenner live in the stage version and I just cannot picture him saying "Yadda dadda dadda" [mind-boggling-e]

Wordwind, JFTR, yadda-dadda gets 88g (compare yadda-yadda 53.9kg :)

and yada-yada got 139kg

Yul Brenner live in the stage version

Ya know, I don't think Dub Dub' is going to get Yul for her production.

Depends on how desperate the parties are, both Wordwind and Yul hissownself ...

JFTR, it's not my production; it's my high school's production. The only very small thing I have to do with it is plunking a few piano keys for rehearsals and then performing as an entirely unnecessary part of the orchestra in production. But I wouldn't mind having Yul for a page turner!

>I wouldn't mind having Yul for a page turner!

but... isn't he still dead?!

re: yadda v. yada - at least it's not an order of magnitude difference.

Yer right. Not a LOT of difference between a D and a double-D.

Ha! Now our production really would get stunning audiences if Yul were our page turner! Conclusive proof of life after death! Wow!

Thanks for the correction, tsuwm. I somehow missed Yul's passing.

To a spin around the web. Seems many folks think yad(d)a was invented for the Seinfeld show, but some trace it back to Lenny Bruce. I remember it being used in a David Frye record about Watergate back in the early '70s where the Ron Steiger prisoner character taunts the warden with a cry of "Yadda yadda Warden!" I looked in Harkavy's Yiddish-English-Hebrew Dictionary and found an entry for yaden 'to vex'. That would mean that yade could be an imperative form. A possible connection, not. Whatever.

isn't he still dead?

I'm pretty sure Yul Brynner is. Dunno about Yul Brenner.

Sometimes I just as well may go put my head in a sack.

This is a good place to get facts striaght. On this website I have been corrected--and rightly so--on numerous factual errors. And I am very happy, Faldage, to add to your list of WW-Corrected-Again the spelling of Yul's last name. Yule Brynner. Got it. Yule Brynner. [This is a little joke.]

And we're also more than pretty sure that he's in He3aven. Everyone know's he'd been shaved.

WW-Corrected-Again...

As a disinterested (!) observer, Dub2, I must inquire: Where perzackly® did *you misspell Yul's last name?

I misspelled it in my head and somebody read my mind.

My apologies for putting the wrong spelling in your mind.
Brynner wouldn't have been impressed.

*hehheh*

Wait! Y'all tryin to tell me they ain' no Yul Brenner? Who's gonna turn pages for Dub Dub'?

Who's gonna turn pages for Dub Dub'?

Yul do.

"Yul do"--ohmigawd! Oh, Connie, that was perfect!
