On February 4th, 2021, President Joe Biden posted a photo of the first page of his State of the Union (SOTU) speech on his Twitter account, and one word has conservatives laughing. The word in question is “malarkey,” a slang term used to describe something as being false or nonsense.
The photo was met with a mix of reactions on social media. While many praised the President for his choice of words, others found it humorous and began to mock the President for his use of the term.
The use of the word “malarkey” is not new for Biden, as he has used the term in various speeches and interviews throughout his political career. However, the use of the word in the SOTU speech has caused some to question whether or not it was appropriate for such an important address.
Some conservatives have argued that the use of the word was unprofessional and showed a lack of respect for the office of the President. Others have argued that the word was chosen to show that Biden is not afraid to speak his mind and is not afraid to call out those who are trying to spread falsehoods.
Regardless of the opinion, the use of the word “malarkey” has certainly caused a stir on social media. While some have been critical of the President’s choice of words, others have praised him for his wit and humor.
No matter what one’s opinion is on the matter, it is clear that the use of the word “malarkey” in the SOTU speech has certainly sparked a conversation. Whether one finds it humorous or unprofessional, it is sure to be remembered for some time to come.
