gob
n, v核心畫面
One soft, wet lump about the size of a mouthful. Picture chewing gum under a chair, glue squeezed onto paper, paint dropping off a brush. It has no fixed shape, it to what it touches, and you can point at it as one thing. Everything in this group can be seen through that one lump: the lump that comes out of a mouth, the act of pushing it out, and — once you pile the lumps up — a heap of anything.
這一組的 gob 可以想成「一小坨」：軟的、濕的、大約一口的量。畫面就是椅子底下的口香糖、擠在紙上的膠水、從刷子滴下…更多收起
這一組的 gob 可以想成「一小坨」：軟的、濕的、大約一口的量。畫面就是椅子底下的口香糖、擠在紙上的膠水、從刷子滴下來的油漆。它沒有固定形狀，會黏住碰到的東西，而且是「一團」，你指得出來。這一組的其他意思都能從這個畫面看出來：從嘴裡出來的那一坨、把那一坨吐出去的動作，還有一坨一坨堆起來以後的「一大堆」。From the word’s history
Wiktionary traces this group to Middle English gobbe / gobet, from Old French gobet, gobe meaning a lump or a mouthful, and further back to a Gaulish form meaning neb or muzzle. A mouthful is exactly the size of the lump the modern word names.
根據 Wiktionary，這一組來自中古英語 gobbe／gobet，再往前是古法語 gobe、gobet，意思是「一塊、一口的量」，更早可能來自高盧語。「一口的量」正好就是今天 gob 指的那一小坨的大小。

From the picture
一大堆（複數 gobs）
一坨是一口的量，很少；但一坨一坨堆起來就變成一座小山。英文把複數的 gobs 拿來講「多到成堆」，走的就是這條路。
noun · B2
Gobs of something means a very large amount of it. It is American and informal, it is used in the plural, and it is most often said about money, time, space or energy.
一大堆；很多
Also in this word
noun · C1
Spit, or the thick wet stuff that comes up from the throat, especially after someone has spat it out. British slang, and it sounds rude.
口水；痰

gob
n核心畫面
A . Not a mouth described , but the hard front end of a bird that opens, snaps and never stops making noise. When this word is used of a person, that picture is still doing the work: the mouth as the noisy opening things go into and words come out of.
這一個 gob 可以想成「鳥喙」：不是客氣地說「嘴」，而是鳥那個一張一合、吵個不停的尖嘴。用在人身上的時候，這個畫面…更多收起
這一個 gob 可以想成「鳥喙」：不是客氣地說「嘴」，而是鳥那個一張一合、吵個不停的尖嘴。用在人身上的時候，這個畫面還在後面撐著——嘴巴就是那個東西塞進去、話一直冒出來的開口。所以這個字天生就不客氣。From the word’s history
Wiktionary gives this as a separate route from the lump word: probably from Irish and Scottish Gaelic gob, meaning beak or mouth. That is why the beak picture, not the lump picture, sits behind it.
Wiktionary 把這個意思列為另一條線，跟「一坨」那組不同源：它多半來自愛爾蘭語和蘇格蘭蓋爾語的 gob，意思是「鳥喙、嘴」。所以撐住它的是鳥喙的畫面，不是一小坨的畫面。
