Malarkey is talk you think is silly or not true — nonsense, a story someone is spinning. People often say a load of malarkey or a bunch of malarkey, with a smile or a roll of the eyes, not in a careful report. It is informal, and it sounds more American than British; a British speaker might say nonsense or rubbish instead. You use it for excuses, boasts, and empty claims, not for a small honest mistake. It is a noun. It is not a person's name, even though it looks a little like one.
