For me it was C++. I learned it in high school, and while I took my AP Comp Sci exam in C++, and used it for all college projects, I never touched it for a non-school related project, and haven't used it since college graduation.

Also, as a follow up question ... why didn't you use it? :) Or why did you learn it in the first place, rather? Did you plan to use it and then just not find it interesting enough or practical enough for real world application?

SNOBOL, Algol, Algol 68c, LISP and COBOL. I learned them for course credits but never used them other than for course work.
