I will not put up with that sort of behavior.

What does put up with mean?

Fish out of water. any one here can explain this to me

Different topic - but means out of place. Fish live in water, so if they are out of the waetr, they are out of place

Hello, RonBee,

"I would not put up with that kind of behavior," is not
the correct language. Instead, you should have said,
"I will not tolerate that kind of behavior."

Sorry, you are wrong. Put up with means tolerate (as was previously stated).

I'm sure Roberta meant 'is not correct FORMAL language'.
