The English word blah (n.) meaning "idle, meaningless talk", is probably echoic in origin and seems to have been coined circa 1918.

The origin of the word "blah" is uncertain, but it is believed to have emerged in the early 20th century as onomatopoeia to represent nonspecific or meaningless speech. It is commonly used to express boredom, disinterest, or lack of enthusiasm. The word has evolved into colloquial language and is now widely recognized in informal communication.
