I realize this is a hijack, but I had the vaguest idea that mould meant some kind of soil - maybe very loamy, full of organic matter. My thought that there was a relation to soil was strengthened by recollection of the mold/mouldboard on certain plows. Or maybe referring to the fungi interacting with roots in the soil. But I’m not able to google up any confirmation that mould=soil. Anyone else ever hear of mould meaning a sort of soil? ---

Moderating: > [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > She’s not blonde, or glib, enough to be on Fox. It’s been half jokingly suggested she could go back to being an escort, but she is rapidly reaching the end of her shelf life. This is really misogynistic. Let’s drop this line of speculation. You’ve were previously mod-noted for making inane comments about women’s attractiveness and I made a note that if you did it again, you should receive a warning. So here is one. ---
