I'm not sure if you already know this, but "yada yada" isn't a Seinfeld invention. It's a fairly common American phrase that's been around for quite some time, although it may have become more popular after its appearance in a Seinfeld episode.

Oh, did not know this... I'm not a native speaker, but anyway, found it funny to hear it in the movie!

Or, more accurately, it was already a trite and overused New York-ism and an unoriginal reference unworthy of Seinfeld when it first appeared on the show.
