Thank you to Dumbledad for providing the Oxford Online Dictionary
definitions for "muggle" (see his post #61094). In keeping up with
our recent amusing "lists of things that absolutely will and will not
be in OOP" anyone have any humorous suggestions on other words from
JKR's world that may also end up in the dictionaries someday?? I'll
start... (although, they're pretty lame...)
(1. Muggle (already there) - a person unskilled or clueless)
2. Er - a very commom sound that is made when trying to come up
with a suitable answer or excuse
3. "Swish and Flick" - the term used to describe the proper
procedure for attemping any sort of magic with a wand
4. Quidditch - a sport involving broomsticks that has yet to be
attempted outside the world of fiction
5. Wizarding Wireless Network - an elusive, underground network
that authorities have yet to uncover. It is believed to be a way for
non-muggles to communicate with each other
is this a lame list? or does anyone want to add on... clearly, I am
running out of ideas to pass the time until tomorrow night!
