origin of muggle

[Lynne Murphy]

Following up on my last post (as I often do, as I hit 'send' too soon),

'mug' is documented as meaning 'loser' in UK English--but that should be
different from 'muggle' in a plagiarism case, I'd think.


Incidentally, is it now the case on ADS-L that one does not receive one's
own posts to the list?  I keep waiting for mine to be posted, but then
realise they must've been when I start reading replies to them.
