English term or phrase: putty
context:
ölmüş anne hakkında - övgüyle - konuşuluyor
gelinlerden bir tanesi benzetme yaparak konuşuyor:
" 'she was a woman that lets the man she loves make himself to fit the curves of what she has sculpted.'
her husband grins, 'Me, exactly.'
'You exactly,' says Lou (kocanın kardeşi), 'are a pushover. Or, in keeping with your wife's metaphor, putty.'"

Şimdi, buradaki "pushover"a kefal dedik mesela, "putty"yi (redhouse'a göre macun, harç anlamında) nasıl yorumlayacağız, "kefal" veya "alık" anlamına gelecek şekilde?

sazan
Explanation:
"Sen tam bir alıksın ya da karının lafını kullanacaksak sazansın..."
bu sizin kefal yerine "sazan"ı önermeye örnek olsun diye.
ama buradaki "putty"nin "manipulative" anlamı da var (bkz. aşağıda madde 3). bunu yansıtamak gerekebilir, "macun gibi şekil alıyorsun" denebilir mesela (çok alık bir benzetme oldu ama:))
