    Unhappy Yageddabadda geddaahh!

    "Yageddabadda geddaahh!"

    This is what an old woman said in a book I'm reading.

    Is this really English?
    Or is this some kind of English spoken in London?

    Thank you SO much!

    Please give reference/quote where it has been used. It is certainly impossible to comment without that.

    "You had better get out!"

    An exaggeration of the consonants to make the sentence more comic.

    Nice etymology!
