lumping
Throwing together indiscriminately
Lumping is grouping things together, often without regard for their differences: He's lumping all the complaints into one category.
The word often carries a dismissive tone—lumping suggests the grouper is being careless or reductive: You can't just lump all millennials together.
In the phrase lump it, lumping means tolerating something unpleasant: If you don't like it, you can lump it.
