I have heard the muggle will now be in the new and upcoming 
dictionaries as a general word that means someone who doesn't know 
something... is "in the dark."  Sort of used as... "You didn't know 
that??? Oh, come on... don't be a muggle!"  I'm not sure exactly 
where I heard that at.  I want to say that it was on the news 
somewhere, but I really don't remember.  I wonder if any other 
Potterverse will end up being in the dictionary.  Anyone have any 
ideas of what else could become common language?
