Mold

Mold: verb. To mold is to do the opposite from moulding: to make something incompatible with its surroundings or turning it unsmooth (or perhaps doing the former through the means of the latter). One can, for example, mold a militant Atheist child by putting him in a Christian school, or perhaps even better, putting a militant Christian into Saudi Arabia. Both actions would most probably result in a grave form of molding beyond repair. The word was invented after the disintegration of the USSR, when it was found that the country of Moldova would most probably not go back to rejoining Romania as it had been, as foreign press reporters said, molded by Russia.
