It is used to define a person who is shortly tempered, retaliates very often and one who has always clashed with the opinion and ideology of another person.
E.g = You can use India is a tolerant country when someone doesn't agree with your opinion or you can use it for a short-tempered person.

John has a much higher dirty-dish-tolerance, aka DDT, than Jane, so she ends up doing most of the dishes. She wonders if she is just encouraging him to do even less, but oh well, no big deal in the big picture.

A word used by network admins in long confusing emails they send to try and cover up the fact they royally screwed up.
That’s the good news. The bad news is we now have to go through a process to move them back to fault tolerant which requires each store to be taken back offline while the data is duplicated to the reserve system.

The "allotment" (i.e., "ration") of patience/forgiveness/understanding that someone "sets aside" for dealing with a certain situation, person, etc. --- the larger the toleration, the less likely he is to blow his stack or be hostile/unsupportive in said instance.
If someone is hot-headed or prejudiced overall, he's not likely to give anyone whom he disagrees with much of any toleration.
