13 валить в кучу

валить (мешать, сваливать) в < одну> кучу (в одно)

прост., неодобр.

lump everything together; throw everything in a heap

- Право отбора! Да ведь в этом всё дело! В этом тайна таланта. Одному даётся это, а другому нет... Думается, почему перекосы в произведениях случаются? Именно от того, что не умеем отбирать, валим всё в кучу... Классики, да, умели, могли! (Г. Марков, Грядущему веку) — 'The right of choice! That is the key. In it lies the secret of talent. It is given to one but not to another. Think, why do distortions occur in written works? Because we do not know how to select. We throw everything in a heap. The writers of classics knew how to choose.'
