Maura: It sounds so simple. It sounds like nothing, but it really is something that we use when we’re talking, blah blah blah, and we usually say it fast, blah blah blah.
Harp: Yeah, blah blah blah.
Maura: And blah blah blah is the slang term that we might use when someone is telling a story and they don’t want to give all the details, so instead of all of these details, they say blah blah blah.
Harp: Yeah, it’s when you’re telling a story and you’re trying to give a little bit of context but you don’t want to give all the little details in the story, you just wanna kind of shorten it to get to the important, the juicy, part of the story. So you say blah blah blah.
Maura: Right. When you say blah blah blah, it means that some things were still happening, time was still passing, maybe someone was still talking, but the details of what was actually going on aren’t important so you can just pass over it.
