The missing word is 'grief'. The question 'How much grief are you getting?' is a common question. You can search the question on Google or another search engine to get more examples. Make sure sure you put quotation marks around the entire question. It means 'how much hassle/trouble are you getting?' And the question is a cliché, meaning it's worn out from being overused. 'Almost never' means 'never'. It is an ironic use of 'almost'. The phrase is another cliché.
