Mugwump  is a playful label for someone who's unable to make up their mind on an issue. The term began as a Massachusett word meaning "war leader." Then, in the 1880s, reformers who ditched their party to back Grover Cleveland for president adopted the word, which tends to retain a political bent to this day. When the dinner-table debate starts feeling more like an election campaign, just declare yourself a mugwump  and say, "I'll pass."
