Blarney is NOT baloney

As it says on a sign in the castle there, Blarney is highly varnished truth; baloney, an unvarnished lie; Blarney, flattery thinly applied and appreciated; baloney, flattery spread so thickly as to be disgusting.
I might add, Blarney seems to have more to do with style and baloney with that strange lunch meat circle my mother put in our sandwiches when we were kids.
Anyway, only my nose smacked the stone well, my lips by association, as my gab needs no improvement.
