zero tolerance

Authoritarian rule system whereby breaking of the rules is taken very seriously and punishment is overly severe to get the message through.

The dictator took a stance of zero tolerance on ideaology that caused him any disrepute, and so gave his political opponents acid baths.

tolerance

Tolerance is the quality of requiring a larger dose of a certain drug every time to reach the same effects. For example, if you need 2-5 hits to get stoned at first, if you smoke regularly and at close intervals (every day or every other day) you will start requiring more hits to get the same high.

Seriously, everyone here wrote the definition for tolerance which means "patience with and acceptance of other people's beliefs" and not one wrote the drug definition; wierd since most of the definitions on this website are sex or drug related.

The Tolerant Left

A humorous, sarcastic, and informal term that refers to the political left, especially in the United States. Specifically, it is used to poke fun at how they claim to be "tolerant" of others, yet they are the most intolerant, hateful, and bigoted group of people ever.

Remember when an elderly gentleman was attacked for wearing a MAGA hat?

Oh, wait, didn't that happen multiple times?

The tolerant left.

Personal Risk Tolerance

Also known as PRT. A term used by investors or degenerate gamblers to rationalize betting every dollar they have, and sometimes borrowed funds, trying to score a big win.

“I maxed out three credit cards, took out a second mortgage on my parent’s house, and asked my roommate to front me next month’s rent for this trade. Don’t worry, it’s within My personal risk tolerance.”

tolerance juice

Any concoction of alcohol used to help tolerate a person, a place, or a situation.
In theory, the more tolerance juice you consume, the less annoyed you will be.

Without tolerance juice the person, place, or situation is quite simply, well, intolerable and you could potentially slip into a rage blackout.

Warning: Excessive consumption of tolerance juice may result in memory loss and/or loss of clothing.

BRO1: 'Hey, let's go check out that new bar across the street.'
BRO2: 'I hear it's not that great.'
BRO1: 'Come on, 5 minutes. Real quick, if it's lame, we'll come back here.'
BRO2: 'Okay, let me just finish my tolerance juice first!'

GIRL1: 'Uh, were you just talking to your ex over there?'
GIRL2: 'Yeah, he came up and started rambling about how he misses me or whatever.'
GIRL1: 'What did you say to him?'
GIRL2: 'Nothing, all I could think of was coming back over here and ordering more tolerance juice so I don't have a rage blackout!'
GIRL1: 'Let's get some shots!!'

liberal tolerance

The belief that is doesn't matter what race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation a person is, as long as they never, ever disagree with you, and as long as that religion isn't Christianity.

Johnny got called a "stupid bible-thumping Christian sheeple" during a seminar on liberal tolerance, after saying that he didn't have a problem with seeing the Ten Commandments on display in a public courthouse.
