1) It means it can be ignored and you can use this to wave off something. For a mellifluous sentence end with this: When changing $10,000 to Euro the rate is important, while the $7 fee is negligible.
2) Best to use when you need to say something is required without making this a central point of the sentence. After the obligatory hugs and greetings, the girls got down to some serious gossip.
3) Not to pick nits with the previous person, but this is best used alone. The French council has condemned the kidnapping as an odious act.
4/5 you have good examples in other answers
6) This means harden (like bone) with age and can be employed to refer negatively to growing rigidity. When the company was small, it could respond effectively to market changes, but as it grew it began to ossify.
7) You can get double use out of this word because it carries the word "pain" in it. While it means to take great care about every detail, it also shows pain and effort. Try emphasizing the syllable "pain". Redesigning the website was painstaking work and nobody appreciated it!
