This tag is for questions about the meaning of a word, which a dictionary cannot answer. If the question is about the meaning of a word that can't be understood outside its phrase or sentence, the "meaning-in-context" tag should be also used; for the meaning of a phrase, use the "phrase-meaning" tag instead. Your question should normally include the dictionary definition of the word, and explain how the dictionary does not answer your question.

Colloquial term for a rock band/group, I would imagine.

What does "her mouth was the thinnest of thin lines" imply?

Angry. Imagine something like below. The lips are closed tightly to form a thin line.

See That She Was Smiling

#2 is not uncommon, and I don't think one could say with any certainty that #3 appears more frequently than #2.
