I'm afraid that you're wrong on all counts:
-
It's not a 'silly' word; it's actually a very useful one.
-
It's not 'extinct': if it were, a search for it would not have led me here -- QED.
-
Its meaning is not "silly language"; it actually means "the study of nonsense." I should know, as I myself coined the word in 2011. You may be thinking of the word 'phlyarologist', which predates me by a century and a half; the Oxford English Dictionary defines it as 'A talker of nonsense' ("1867 Athenæum 12 Oct. 459/1, I would not meddle with such a phlyarologist."). I find it particularly apt that this is incorrect; a phlyarologist is one who studies it, not necessarily one who speaks it.
[Unfortunately this website appears to forbid the use of links to back up my argument. I love it: a perfect phlyarologism!]
