Malarkey!

I’m not sure if it has anything to do at all  with the VP debate, but for some reason the word #Malarkey! seems cool to say now.  Is it trending?

Last night,  my son was scheduled to wash the dishes and as usual he somehow went to sleep and left a sink load of dirty dishes, again.  This morning, as he was babbling with yet another lame excuse for not doing the dishes, something about typing his college personal statement, I thought to myself, that’s a bunch of #Malarkey!  Earlier in the week he actually claimed the personal statement was written so I called it #Malarkey! on two counts.

Saying #Malarkey!  is further elevated when you raise both hands and look towards the heavens.  I believe when said in this manner you’re looking for God himself to co-sign the source of  their #Malarkey!  The definition of Malarkey is as follows: Insincere or foolish talk.  Based on this definition the uses of the word are  mind-boggling and endless.  For instance, the next time  CoCo has an accident on the floor, I call it #Malarkey!

I’m looking forward to rappers Drake, Lil Wayne or 2 Chainz using the word #Malarkey! in their next hit song.  It’s just that endless.  Hmmm…what rhymes with #Malarkey? Charles Barkley, a cricket named Jiminy? I’m no fool, yes siry, I’m gonna live till I’m 103. Saying #Malarkey! with sagging pants while grabbing your crotch seem to go hand in hand.

I’m looking forward to the administration of my annual bonus next year.  If I’m not thrilled with the amount considering my contribution to the corporation’s bottom-line, then that’s when you’ll hear me tell the CFO,  ” This some damn #Malarkey!”.

I’m looking forward to the most interesting man, that’s full of #Malarkey! commercials.

When I go to the dealership to buy my new convertible, black,  2013 Audi A5 and I’m not happy with the numbers presented, ” I’m not signing this #Malarkey!”

When that special someone whispers those, sweet, naughty, nothings in your ear: “man, get outta my ear with that #Malarkey!”

Yep, out of nowhere the word #Malarkey! is making a comeback.  Is it trending now?

  1. (Coco is cute, even if she is spreading a little #malarkey here and there.) I watched that debate too. I hadn’t used or heard that word in a long time. Now it’s part of everyday language, if and when I refer to these ‘debates.’

  2. My boyfriend comes from a family named Malarky, though it was his mother’s maiden name and he goes by his father’s more ordinary last name. So I am not allowed to use this word in the way you described above any longer, though occasionally I slip up..
