A variation of the common phrase "watch and learn", used when demonstrating an action so difficult and
skillful that viewers would never be able to "learn" how to do it, simply "
yearn" to one day be able to
pull off such an act.
Jonathan Ross:
Oit Russ, that Katy Perry bird is lookin' mightly fine tonight. If only I'd shacked up wiv someone that looked like that.....
Russel Brand:
Watch and yearn, Jonathan,
watch and yearn.....
I saw Chris Brown pullin' off some bangin' moves the other day at that MTV concert. I could but watch and yearn.
