    If something is mouldy, it is covered with mould — that soft, furry growth, often green, white, or grey, that appears on old food, damp walls, or wet cloth. Bread goes mouldy. A room can smell mouldy. People also stretch it: a mouldy old joke is stale and no good any more; mouldy can mean old and unpleasant, not only literally covered in fungus. It is an ordinary, slightly word, not fancy. British spelling keeps the u (mouldy); American spelling is . In Taiwan you will see both, because many textbooks follow American spelling.
