People made fun of his used of "malarkey" at first, but you can tell that he's trying to avoid swearing. It is a fun replacement for "shit" and has a quaint folksy appeal. Now when people hear malarkey, they'll think of Joe.

My grandfather was fond of using the word bologna (repeated two times for emphasis) when he didnt believe something or someone. Id like to see Joe incorporate that, too. 😂😂😂. He also used malarky. Grandpa died in 1968. I miss him.

Joe Biden loves the word malarkey. But nobody knows where it came from.
