Debugger 79 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 “Muggle” used to be slang for marijuana in the 1920’s and 1930’s! In the Harry Potter world, a muggle is someone who wasn’t born with any magical powers and wasn’t born in the magical realm. J.K. Rowling said she got the term from British slang “mug” which means “an easily fooled person.” An article from 1931 in Time magazine said that prison authorities found “muggle smuggling a perplexing problem.” Back then, muggle was a term for marijuana.
