1. What does 'Something doesn't fly with someone' mean?
2. Could anyone give me examples using this expression?
I'm adding a conversation below to give a context. Thank you in advance for your help!!
A : "But why do I have to apologize to her? Why don’t we just go uh, ‘now we’re even’ and we'll start from scratch."
B : "Okay if the, uh, being a pleasant human being argument doesn’t fly with you, we’ll try a self preservation, what if she wakes up in the middle of the night, the house is on fire, you don’t want her to call 911?"
