„Malarkey“ is something my American father used to say, especially when our pet dinosaurs were acting up.

Not going to lie, I'm actually a fan of the word "malarkey." It's right up there with "shenanigans" and "boondoggle." 😂

I use shenanigans a whole lot, can't say the same for the others, unfortunately. They just don't have the zing I'm looking for.

Nay! Albeit I am lettered and love to read, 'twas most simple to follow the patois of both centuries. The word "malarkey" is a term that fell into disuse about 50 years ago. I certainly think everybody under the age of 40 had to Google it. Thank you Trevor, for another really fun segment! I love you!! ❤️

[@kimberlynorris338]

I like to use silly old-timey slang like that in class. I was once told I "talk like a newsie". If it's the kind that sings and dances, I'll just have to keep it up!

[@kanamekiyru]

I knew i wasn't the only one who could only reference my grandpa being the one who says "malarkey"

[@egregious3666]

Tarik M. I am 60 years old, and I thought, malarkey is MY grandparents kinda slang. Can you imagine them sitting around and thinking: How can we make a statement about being straightforward? Of course! A word from 3 or 4 generations ago will do the trick. He is out of his league, and his team is NO good.

I went to one of his campaign stops. It was mostly malarkey

[@blupunk01]

I'm not a Biden fan, but I have to congratulate whoever it was on his campaign staff that came up with this. Without doing a search I honestly couldn't tell you what the current campaign slogan of most of the Democratic field is (and I pay an unusual amount of attention to politics), but I can sure tell you what Biden's is. As the Trump campaign taught us, it doesn't matter if people are laughing as long as the press keeps giving you free coverage.

[@kamirarahman3920]

King Coyote policy substance ideas? Such as?

[@kamirarahman3920]

King Coyote his ideas were “make America great again” he had no healthcare plan (beside repealing affordable care act but had no replacement) he wanted “Mexico to pay for the wall”. Those aren’t exactly ideas lol

[@egregious3666]

Well, shenanigans is defined as : 1a: a devious trick used especially for an underhand purpose. 2a: tricky or questionable practices or conduct -usually used in the plural. b: high-spirited or mischievous activity -usually used in the plural. I think of shenanigans as an action, like a trick, questionable practice or mischievous activity. malarkey is more about the talk: The word malarkey, meaning “insincere or exaggerated talk,” originally found favor in Irish-American usage, though its exact origin remains unknown. That's why I know it. I am an Irish American. I remember hearing "that's a load of blarney." Not malarkey.

A bit of recorded early renaissance sentiment among a select group there. And moors were not black but they were the closer frame of reference for the bulk of people at the time.

I read a lot, thus I understood Everything Kosta said, I actually feel comfortable with Shakes. Revolution talk, 20s, 40s, 50's 60s, 70s 80s and 90s but I draw the line with Beowulf with lines like Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum, þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon, hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon. Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum, monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah, egsode eorlas.

Ful worthy was he in his lordes werre, And therto hadde he riden, no man ferre, As wel in cristendom as in hethenesse, 50 And evere honoured for his worthynesse. At Alisaundre he was, whan it was wonne. Ful ofte tyme he hadde the bord bigonne Aboven alle nacions in Pruce; In Lettow hadde he reysed, and in Ruce, 55 No Cristen man so ofte of his degree. In Gernade at the seege eek hadde he be Of Algezir, and riden in Belmarye.

[@GAndreC]

Old English is a struggle but Middle English is not as bad just don’t assume you know what a word means before making sense of a sentence and you will be ok. And make sure to get ahold of a proper dictionary and reference material to get the nuance of the sentences of course.
