Yabba (also incorrectly "Yabber") (n) pron. "Yaa-bah" - 1. A term (possibly invented) and most certainly brought to the United States and coined by the imminent Bell Labs associate - Tom Reddington - in attempting to use the native Australian Pidgin word, describing the way indigenous Australians talk..... 2. Word origin can be traced to Fred Flintstone - formerly of Bedrock, USA - who was oft heard yelling "Yabba Dabba Doo"... Also see: Words of Australian Origin: [1]
