lump
Clot of something
A lump is a compact mass, typically irregular in shape: a lump of coal, a lump of clay, a lump in the throat.
A lump on the body is a swelling, sometimes alarming: She found a lump in her breast.
To lump things together is to treat them as one group, often ignoring distinctions: Don't lump all politicians together.
If you don't like it, you can lump it—accept it anyway.
