      Like, it's telling that the worst thing about the Death Eater regime in Deathly Hallows is *falsely accusing Muggleborn wizards of just being Muggles* "Who did you steal that wand from? Whose magic have you been leeching off of?" etc

      And that obviously shouldn't be presented as the worst thing they do The worst thing is how they treat ACTUAL Muggles - and Squibs - who ACTUALLY can't do magic The fact that a Muggle is helpless to stop anything a wizard wants to do to them should be a horrifying injustice

      wtf is a squib? where I come from it's a condom full of fake blood rigged to explode, and I know that's not what you're talking about

      In the Potter books, a Squib, "is a non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent" - someone who should be able to learn magic, since it's often hereditary, but isn't.

      Why did she name it after an exploding blood pack?

      Replying to @HenryWHall @arthur_affect and

      My guess would be that it's a reference to the saying, "that went off like a damp squib" - which means, 'a situation or event which is much less impressive than expected.'

      They're mostly derived from the original meaning of "firecracker" Like all the definitions of a physical object are things that resemble a firecracker in some way And the rest originate from the metaphor of "firing off a squib" to mean what we'd call writing a "hot take"

      I.e. something that's meant to make a brief and relatively small but intense impression rather than something longer and more substantial

      In JK's defense she probably wanted to call them a slur of some kind, so this is a great compromise

      I mean one reason to pick the word is it very much sounds like it could be a slur
