ذَهَبَتْ طُولاً، وَعَدِمَتْ مَعْقُولاً.
She went too far, and lost all sense.

أقرب مقابل إنجليزي له هو:
“All brawn and no brains.”
أي: قويّ البنية، لكنه قليل العقل؛ ويُقال لمن يمتلك القوة الجسدية دون الذكاء أو حسن التفكير. لكنه لا يشير مباشرةً إلى الكلام غير الدقيق.
ومن التعبيرات الأقرب إلى المعنى الذي ذكرته:
“Big talk, little sense.” — كلام كثير، وعقل قليل.
“Empty words are worth nothing.” — الكلام الفارغ لا قيمة له.
“It’s not the size of the man, but the size of his mind that matters.” — ليست العبرة بحجم المرء، بل بحجم عقله. وهذا تعبير توضيحي، وليس مثلًا إنجليزيًا ثابتًا.
ترشيحي الأقرب: “Big talk, little sense.” إذا كان المقصود أن طول الشخص أو ضخامته لا قيمة لهما ما دام كلامه غير معقول ولا مجدٍ.

The closest English equivalent is:
“All brawn and no brains.”
Meaning: physically strong but lacking in intelligence; it is said of someone who possesses physical strength but lacks wisdom or sound judgment. However, it doesn't directly refer to inaccurate speech.
Some expressions closer to the meaning I mentioned are:
- “Big talk, little sense.” — Much talk, little sense.
- “Empty words are worth nothing.” — Empty words are worthless.
- “It’s not the size of the man, but the size of his mind that matters.” — It's not the size of a person that matters, but the size of their mind. This is an illustrative expression, not a fixed English proverb.
My closest recommendation is: “Big talk, little sense.” if the intended meaning is that a person's height or size is irrelevant if their speech is illogical and useless.
