Do you understand the title? Here's a quick lesson to explain it.
can't stand (something/someone)
This means HATE. It means you dislike something so much that you can't stand there, you just want to leave the room.
I can't stand my new boss he's a total jerk!
I can't stand it when people lie.
You know she can't stand pickles, so make sure you order her burger without them.
You might also hear a small variation which is a bit stronger.
can't stand the sight of X
This means you HATE SEEING something. So it is often used for emphasis to make a statement stronger.
He couldn't be a doctor because he can't stand the sight of blood.
After we got divorced, I couldn't stand the sight of her.
Any questions? Have a nice sunny Thursday!
