International Yada Yada Yada Day is celebrated on July 23. The phrase — which can mean ‘so on and so forth’ or ‘blah, blah, blah’ — was popularized by an episode of the popular American sitcom “Seinfeld.” “The Yada Yada” was the 19th episode of the eighth season and the 153rd episode. The creator of the holiday, Michael W. Casby, said the episode was part of the inspiration for the festivity. “Seinfeld” was a revolutionary show at the time, as sitcoms in this style starring a group of friends instead of a family were unheard of, and it remains popular to this day because of its unique focus on mundanity and characters that don’t grow or improve, sticking to a “no hugging, no learning” rule.
