can't stand
Deeply despise something
Can't stand means to strongly dislike or be unable to tolerate something: I can't stand the smell of cigarettes, She can't stand her new boss.
The phrase suggests an almost physical inability to endure.
It's emphatic but casual—stronger than dislike, weaker than hate.
