nopulgošana, apmelošana, nomelnošana
"Nopulgošana" ir mazliet arhaisks vārds, "apmelošana" - pārāk vispārēja rakstura, bet "nomelnošana" atbilst gan definīcijai, gan tam ir atbilstoša emocionālā nokrāsa.
Definition from

Discussion
Tomēr vēlējos piebilst, ka tiek lietots tāds izteiciens pārnestā nozīmē kā nomētāt ar dubļiem.
Domāju, ka tulkojot no latviešu uz angļu valodu, mudsling būtu diezgan trāpīgs tulkojums šai nomētāšanai.
