Muggle

By Sarah E. White, About.com

Definition: A person who doesn't knit. Or, to put it more poetically, one who doesn't know the magic of knitting. (With apologies to J.K. Rowling.)
Pronunciation: mug-uhl
Examples: The muggles gave us strange looks when we pulled out our knitting on the subway.
