What words, phrases or expressions have you learned from listening to Tull?
'Charabanc' is one that immediately comes to mind....I had never heard it before and discovered that it meant 'bus.'
'Sibiliant' is a word I happened to know, but I had just come across it a few months before Dot Com came out, and I was very impressed that Ian used it in a Tull song, which I would say was the first and last time that word has ever been used in a rock song.
I'm sure there are many others, I'll have to think about this.
