jumble together

Mix without order

To jumble together is to mix things in a disorderly way, combining elements without careful arrangement or sorting: The movers jumbled all our boxes together in the garage.

The phrase often suggests confusion or lack of organization, though sometimes creative mingling: The essay jumbles together ideas from philosophy, pop culture, and personal memoir.
