词汇 | malarkey |
词源 | malarkey. Baloney, bunk, nonsense. Perhaps some Irishman named Malarkey was so noted for his B.S. that it was named for him, but there is no proof that this is so. More likely, though also not certainly, the word was invented by that prolific word- coiner American cartoonist T. A. Dorgan, TAD having first used it as Milarkey, in 1922. |
