What's the grammar behind 寝ボケた事(を)言う


> 何寝ボケた事言ってんだおめえ

I don't understand the function of 寝ボケた事, is it like "as if you were half
asleep"?




寝ぼけた事 means things you say after you 寝ぼけた, like when you just wake up, your
mind still wandering in dreamland, in a state of half-asleep, half-awake. A
close synonym is 寝言, literally sleep talk. Both can also mean, and often mean,
nonsense. Here you don't have to look at 寝ぼけた事 too literally. It is a set
phrase. Just know it means nonsense or stupid things.

> 何寝ボケた事言ってんだおめえ  
>  What the heck are you talking about?
