Muggle

 

A non-geocacher. Based on "Muggle" from the Harry Potter series, which is a non-magical person. Usually this term is used after a non geocacher looks puzzled after befriending a geocacher searching for a cache, or when a non-geocacher accidentally finds a cache. Geomuggles are mostly harmless.

A mico is a very small cache, usually no bigger than a film comtainer

First off, Welcome to the fun! To answer your questions.... A muggle is someone who know nothing about geocaching and basically the random person nearby while your geocaching. They might see what you are doing and take the cache or they may just ask you what your doing and be interested in it. You'll also here that a cache got muggled meaning someone raided it and took everything from it basically destroying it because they most likely had no idea what it was.

 

A micro cache is a very small cache. Also called nano's. Generally they are about the size of the small blinky novelties.

...sadly that is the definition being applied way too often but the correct definition is for containers:

Micro (35 mm film canister or smaller – less than approximately 3 ounces or .1 litres -- typically containing only a logbook)
