Who still uses that word? There is some stupid commercial I see and part of there little theme song mentions something to the effect...”You don’t have to put up with malarkey call phone number and company name”. I’m not even sure what malarkry means.
And yes, this is like a Derek post of who actually uses the word...I think it was gingerly? Can’t remember for sure now.

Nothing wrong with malarkey, but I personally prefer hooey.

Biden famously used it during the 2012 VP debates.

Biden famously used it during the 2012 VP debates. If it was so famous why is this new news to me in 2018?

Lol- I sometimes use it in place of “nonsense”.
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

Malarkey is perfect for use in polite conversation where crock of [censored] would seem crude. I use it occasionally.

I only use it in work context.. and then only with either customers or coworkers. The rest of the time I just call it what it is. Bulls*** or horse****.
