Whatever it stands for -- I'm assuming it's an acronym -- it isn't a common usage. I have ransacked Urbandictionary.com and various lists of acronyms, and have found nothing that seems to fit the context.

What else can you expect from a nation of trained monkeys led by liars?

I take a), b) and c) to be mildly humorous statements saying that both the best and the worst cars in the lot are John's. They all seem unexceptionable.

No. It is so overly polite that it sounds wheedling and somewhat passive-aggressive. It implies a presumption by the asker that the driver would be unlikely to say yes if they were asked for a lift in a direct manner (either because it would be inconvenient or because the driver isn't a very nice pe...

In my immediate circle, "Thanks a bunch!" is always a sarcastic comeback in response to an inconsiderate, thoughtless or otherwise unwelcome action or utterance. I'm not sure that I've ever used it to express genuine thanks for something. Though I suppose if someone presented me with a bouquet of f...

As usual with the sentences you present that are void of context, they are ambiguous. They could all be taken to mean that Tom couldn't stand either A) some of the pets or B) all of the pets. Insufficient information has been provided for the reader to be sure which of these interpretations is corre...

They all seem perfectly acceptable to me. I don't see that there is any problem with the first pair.

I perceive no significant difference in meaning with any of these. What are the differences in meaning between 1-3 and 4-5, in your opinion? 4) would not be spoken by a native speaker (it should say "will I", not "I will", i.e. it would be identical to 5).. The elision of the initial "There's" in 2)...

Individual usage varies. In my immediate circle, "Thanks a bunch!" is always a sarcastic comeback in response to an inconsiderate, thoughtless or otherwise unwelcome action or utterance. I'm not sure that I've ever used it to express genuine thanks for something. Oh dear... What a bunch of curmudgeo...

To my mind, a) implies that there was an expectation that the new regulations would generate accidents, but that this expectation was not borne out as much as had been anticipated.

You sit in a row, and you have it to yourself. (There's often not much logic underpinning which prepositions have become standard in particular contexts. :) ) Except for the two uses of 'at' where a native speaker would have said 'in', your sentence is basically OK (though I would probably say what ...

In the poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas", as Santa is about to leave the scene he "lays his finger aside of his nose" and gives a nod. I always thought that was a strange way to say "keep quiet". So we now have three different gestures involving the use of an index finger to indicate silence: ...

Only 1) and 4) strike me as being anything close to what you might call 'natural'.

The most natural way of expressing these concepts employs the relative pronoun "whose":
