Does anyone under 45 know what malarkey means?

We’re lucky they understand commonly used words.

“Does anyone under 45 know what malarkey means?”

Our guy, Trump, uses the up-to-date equivalent “bull sh!t”.
I love our guy.

I'm way past 45. My Irish father used "malarkey" all the time. At a young age I assumed it meant "bullshit".

OR,

I'm 81 and malarky started way before my time in the 1920's. Google: What malarkey means? When did it start? Dictionary: Search for a word ma·lar·key /məˈlärkē/ noun: malarkey meaningless talk; nonsense. "don't give me that malarkey" Origin 1920s: of unknown origin.
