All materials except for liquids and gases have elastic and inelastic responses when subjected to forces.
An elastic response means that an object will return to its original (pre-force) shape when the force is removed, while an inelastic response means that the object will not return to its original shape.
While putty can behave elastically, it can only do so under very small forces, much smaller than what it usually experiences. Since almost any "real world" force will permanently distort putty, it is usually described as inelastic.
