  1. Some of these remind me of a phrase in a movie from a German/American cook who was fed up with the antics of the other characters and quit. She exclaimed "Up with this shit I will no longer put!" Perfectly grammatical. In English you CAN put the verb at the end of the sentence, and, especially in context you can figure out what she means, but "put up with" is an IDIOM in American English and scrambling it and splitting it up so widely sounds odd and comical to American ears. It somewhat sounds like something Yoda (character from Star Wars) would say if Star Wars characters used familiar expletives.

  2.  @pwolkowicki  "makes sense" Particularly since "hippopotamus" is literally "river horse" (with the adjective after) in Latin.
