喜樂美語
  1. 1之類的、等等（blah blah blah 表示省略無聊的話）；懶懶的、沒精神（feeling blah）

    A casual word with two everyday uses. Saying "blah blah blah" means you're skipping over talk that's boring, long, or — "he explained the rules, blah blah blah, and then let us play." "Feeling blah" means feeling a little low, tired, or without much energy or interest — not really sick, just dull. It can also describe something plain or boring, like food that's kind of blah.

From the word’s history

Probably imitative of idle, meaningless talk (1940).

可能是模仿無意義說話聲的擬聲字。
