I would get myself arrested, it's nice and warm in jail.
A malleable metal is one that can be hammered into thin sheets; one example is gold. A ductile metal is one that can be drawn out into thin wires; an example is copper or silver. A metal can be both malleable and ductile, but I hope you understand the difference now.
