Et Patati et Patataâ€French Expression
Expression: Et patati et patata Pronunciation: [ay pa ta tee ay pa ta ta] Meaning: and so on and so forth, blah blah, yada yada Register: informal Notes The informal French exclamation et patati et patata might be one of most useful expressions you never realized you needed. It comes from patatin, patatan, the French equivalent of giddyup. Imagine the image the onomatopoeic French expression evokes: someones mouth running off like a galloping horse. Example    Elle ma dit de faire la lessive, les lits, la vaiselle et patati et patata.    She told me to do the laundry, make the beds, do the dishes, yada yada. Synonyms    Et ainsi de suite   Et bla bla bla (informal)   Et cetera   Et jen passe
