Language Balkan versions for “blah blah blah”

I’m interested to know what you people say when someone talks too much, similar to the international “blah blah”. In my area (Thessaloniki Greece) there’s “biri biri”. My grandparents say something like “dar dar”. What about you?

"drun drun" (the "u" is like the "u" in "turn")

And "dura-bura" - with the same about the "u".

Hm, more versions exist, such as "tintiri-mintiri" or "shmenti-kapeli".
