I'm sure you are going for the meaning:

"a quantity of things or people heaped together"

(Plural of).

But "piles" also means "hemorrhoid" and when you Google that's the first definition you find.

oh wow - not being a native speaker and never googling the term didn't help, but it is what it is, i guess. nevertheless: thanks for the info!
