realpolitik 

See also: the novel "Mating" by Norman Rush. There is a scene where the ambiguity of the definition, and its proper pronunciation, are used to great effect.
See above example--literary.

nonplussed 

Often misused as meaning unfazed, but actually means bewildered.
English majors are nonplussed about how "nonplussed" has, over time, become so misused.
