For example, "J'ai failli le faire" vs "Il s'en est fallu de peu que je le fasse."

I’m having real difficulty pronouncing this sentence  and I’m wondering whether in conversation the « ne » is dropped to ease pronunciation.

This mnemonic device refers to verbs taking etre in the passe compose. What verb does each letter indicate?

The correct kwiz answers indicate "Bien sûr qu'on se déteste!" translates to both "Of course we hate each other!" and "Of course we hate ourselves!"

These English translations have different meanings -- i.e., "I hate you and you hate me" versus "I hate myself and you hate yourself."

My question:  does the French sentence also imply these two distinctly different meanings?

We know that “on” has been explained to mean “one” (in general terms) just like in English, in which case in the sentence above it would mean “no one is allowed to park here, generally”. So I am confused by the fact that, the answer to the multiple choice questions did not include the above option as a valid answer :(
