Is it muggle or muggler?

Is it muggle or muggler? Is it sandwich or samwich?

My take on the terms is that a muggle is a benign soul that knows little or nothing of our sport while a muggler is a malicious predator of innocent tupperware.

Muggle is the term taken from Harry Potter. When I first started 3 years ago, geomuggle was used a lot, but I don’t see that much anymore.

doggles – dogs who are with their muggle owners
teenuggles – obnoxious teens who don’t move out of the way for me to get to the cache
buggles – kids who come over and “bug” me asking what I am doing

trail snakes – nasty little piles that owners of doggles leave on the trails and don’t pick up.

I agree, a muggler sounds like somebody who would resemble the hamburgler only in real life – a real shady character with a bunch of moldly tupperware hidden under his trenchcoat! 😈

Just a few of ours… 😆

Good word – I can totally relate.

Funny, that is exactly what I thought of when I saw the term Muggler.

With GC.com down last night I was bored so I revisited a log note I posted last week after seeing a bunch of logs with the term muggler used. It was explained early on to me that the term is muggle but a lot of newbies, and most of the the LaCrosse crew, all muggler. Here is my take on the lexicon:

It’s muggles, not mugglers. A muggler would be someone who has already muggled a cache. A muggle is any non-cacher. There are not a lot of mugglers out there because we try to hide caches in a way to avoid being seen by muggles. There are actually muggles that enjoy muggling caches and seek them out with that intent.

So let’s recap:
Muggle: any single non-cacher
Muggles: more than one muggle
Muggled: a cache that has been disturbed, destroyed, or taken by a muggle or a group of muggles
Muggling: the act of disturbing, destroying, or taking a cache by a muggle or a group of muggles
Muggler: someone who has muggled a cache
Mugglers: more than one muggle who have muggled caches

By the way, it’s sandwich not samwich!
