Origin / Etymology

* Sense “Idle, meaningless talk” (1940), probably imitative or echoic in origin. Compare Ancient Greek βαρ-βαρ (bar-bar, “unintelligible sounds”)
* Adjective sense “bland, dull” (1919), perhaps influenced by French blasé (“bored, indifferent”).
* The blahs (“boredom, mild depression”) first attested 1969; probably a blend of the blues + blah (adjective).
