To be verbose/ confused words/ loquacious/ garrulous

To be verbose/ confused words/ loquacious/ garrulous

By metaphor: much speech lacking taste. Irrelevant arguments or lacking logic (the term 'pile' implies to cleverly accumulate into a heap).

("Answered Rabbi Eliezer HaModa'i and said: Since the height of sixty cubits descended to Israel. Rabbi Tarfun said to him: Moda'i, until when will you pile words and bring upon us" - Shekalim Tov (Buber) Exodus chapter 16, and likewise: "Sometimes he articulates words... and sometimes his words are piled and loose" - Y. Burla / Kisu'fim, 163)

בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: הִרְבָּה בְּדִבּוּר חֲסַר טַעַם. טְעָנוֹת לֹא רֵלֵוַנְטִיּוֹת אוֹ חַסְרוֹת הִגָּיוֹן (לַגְּבָב מַשְׁמָע לְעָרוּם לִצְבֹּר לַעֲרֵמָה).

("נַעֲנָה ר' אֱלִיעֶזֶר הַמּוּדָעִי וְאָמַר: מִן שֶׁיָּרַד לְיִשְׂרָאֵל גָּבוֹהַּ שִׁשִּׁים אַמָּה. אָמַר לוֹ ר' טָרְפוּן: מוֹדָעִי, עַד מָתַי אַתָּה מְגַבֵּב דְּבָרִים וּמֵבִיא עָלֵינוּ"- שֶׁכָּל טוֹב (בּוּבֶּר) שְׁמוֹת פֶּרֶק טז, וְכֵן:"פְּעָמִים מַשְׁמִיעַ הוּא דְּבָרִים...וּפְעָמִים מְגֻבָּבִים דְּבָרָיו וְרוֹפְפִים"- י.בּוּרְלָא/ כִּסּוּפִים, 163)
