| Refs: | Yoji dictionary references: https://yoji.jitenon.jp/yojic/1419.html https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/玉石混淆/ I think "mixed bag" is the most common way of expressing this concept, at least in American English. This is also what the priority example sentence uses. Saito has "thread and thrum." That phrase and "wheat and tares" might be too old-fashioned for inclusion here.
