Never mind from D&D. I've even learned a bunch of new words here at ENWorld:

One

Of course, I already knew the word 'oleaginous'. Doesn't everybody?

I believe its boo-LAY.

 

[Arbiter of Wyrms]

how does one pronounce 'bullette'?

There are, I think, three ways:
1. pretend that you speak French, and just ree ze word.
2. boo-LAY, as in "boo! I scared you! Now lay down!"
3. Bullet, like the projectile from a firearm. This pronunciation is particularly good for inciting a battlerager-like frenzy in veteran gamers.

According to Dragon issue #93 it's:

Bulette = boo-LET, or byoo-LET; also boo-LAY, or byoo-LAY

According to Dragon issue #93 it's:

Bulette = boo-LET, or byoo-LET; also boo-LAY, or byoo-LAY

But wouldn't that be the 1st edition pronunciation? Is it compatible with 3.5?

Words I've learned that haven't been mentioned (besides the plethora of polearm names, which I won't get into here):

dweomer
abjuration
garrotte
lucubration
legerdemain
prestidigitation
cantrip

I'd heard the word "mace" used before but not in the D&D context, and before I started gaming "flail" was randomly jutting your limbs about.

 

[Xath]

Ah, but don't forget that D&D has taught countless gamers the word:

gazebo​

 

[Mercule]

All the colors in the back of the 1E DMG. I mean, really, how else would a 12 year old boy learn about 'chartreuse'.

Of course, it was uncomfortable when I asked my mom what 'fecund' meant.

Otherwise, many of mine have been listed.
