これだから女ってやつは移ろいやすいったらねえ。

"That's why girls are so variable". I guess.

What about ったらねえ? I found that ったら you can use when you tired of repeating yourself or when you are exasperated with somebody for not listening to you. So what would ったらねえ mean?

〜ねえ is a colloquial form of 〜ない, and 〜といったらない is a fixed phrase meaning "very" or "extremely".

    Can we automatically call a translation "meaning"? I never think of "very" or "extremely" when I say ったらねえ or といったらない in real life as a Japanese-speaker. All I think of is "There is no way to express ~~."

    @TokyoNagoya I cite デジタル大辞泉: （「…といったらない」の形で）程度が、これ以上に…なことはない、極めて…だ、の意を表す。

    @TokyoNagoya: Thank for your comment: I was aware of the definitions but I have always felt it to be "There is no way to express ~~." and wondered why this not included in the explanations available.
