The Lexicon http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/ says:

"Muggles" are non-magical people in the parlance of the Wizarding World. Muggles are for the most part oblivious to the entire society of magical people which exists alongside their own. Part of the reason for this is that Muggles simply don't believe that magic exists, which means they find non-magical reasons for the things that happen to them. (and a lot more)<snip>

"Magic is what sets folks in the Wizarding World apart from their Muggle neighbors. Magic is the heart and soul of the Wizarding culture. <snip>"

Since we do not do magic, but we definitely believe that magic exists, and we are acutely aware of the existence of wizards, witches, and magical beings, spells, and the entire magical society, what does that make us?

As much as I would like to believe that I belong to the Wizarding World, alas, I can not do even the simplest spells, or I would have my dishes and laundry clean themselves in the Molly Weasley fashion.

OTOH, when I hear or read the term, Muggle, I do not feel that it applies to me. They just simply do not get it. 

So, I am back to square one ... what does that make us? Wuggles? Mizards & Mitches?  Wuggles ... hmmmm I kind of like that one.
