Linguistic Note on Muggle

The word muggle comes from the popular Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling: a muggle in this context is a human with no magical powers.

The word muggle is not exclusive to the field of mathematics; a notable usage of muggle is in hacker subculture to refer to a non-hacker.
