He patted the dough into shape
What meaning is used in He patted the dough into shape? in(to) shape? --Backinstadiums (talk) 12:53, 18 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Maybe "form/formation". Note that "in shape" is totally different, and means fit and healthy (e.g. "I play sports to stay in shape"). Equinox ◑ 15:23, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Another computing sense?
Meaning something like system configuration? e.g. "A variety of VM shapes are available, including the new E3. Flex shape, which lets customers specify the precise number of cores (up to 64) and corresponding memory (up to 64 GB per core) to match workload requirements." Possibly specific to Oracle systems; haven't checked. Equinox ◑ 19:56, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
