Idioms: come up with, put up with

Come up with means to think of an idea or plan.

I'll try to come up with some good examples... ^_^

  • Can anybody come up with any better ideas?
  • I've come up with the perfect solution to our problem!

  • Put up with means to (unhappily) tolerate something you don't like very much.

  • I've been putting up with my roommate's snoring for a long time.
  • I can't put up with him any more. I have to break up with him.

  • How about you? Can you come up with any example sentences? What things or behaviour do you find difficult to put up with?
