dontcry commented on the word fools not suffered gladly
The term is more like: 'suffer fools gladly' and it means an intolerance for ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, etc...
From the Bible, Corinthians.
Edit: I sould have said "not" to suffer fools gladly. To actually suffer them gladly is more at being magnaminous or tolerant of those less bright than ones self.
