it's yiddish, not italian. and, as everyone else has said, it basically means, "and so on and and so forth..."
where does it come from? this is not an official technical answer, but what i remember from my classes at bible college, there's a hebrew word for "to know" that would transliterate as "yada" (pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable, something like yuh-DAH).
anyways...it may come from that, with our modern phrase having evolved to mean something like, "eh, you know..." or "you know what i'm gonna say/where i'm going with this..."
something like that.
hope that helps.

It's like 'et cetera, et cetera' - when you're telling a story and don't want to get into the long details, it's just a way of saying that you're skipping over details.

You can find it right before "blah blah blah"! Good luck!

It usually is used by someone implying that someone is talking to much. Used to shorten a story, etc.
