I think I would have been paying more attention and picked up more 'plimsoll's after reading Going Postal, because the first time I ever encountered the word was in there; on the wizard Pelc's desk is volume 41 of synonyms for the word 'plimsoll.' I thought it was a made-up word, at the time, but didn't look it up until my roommate said it was real.
