The expression "cut the malarkey" is believed to have originated in the United States in the early to mid-20th century. "Malarkey" itself is thought to have Irish roots, possibly derived from the word "malaire," meaning nonsense or foolishness. The phrase suggests an urge to stop talking nonsense or to get serious about a situation. Its usage has been popularized in various contexts, often to dismiss insincerity or triviality.
