Two things about "muggle:"

1.  The Nancy Stouffer lawsuit, with her position that she had created the
word "muggles" for a children's book in the mid 1980s.

2.  "Muggle" not always pejorative (even in the Potter books)--ref. "Muggles
for Harry Potter," a movement begun (I believe) by a student in Michigan in
response to the book being banned.
