Scene from Captains Courageous?

(lamest suggestion to date, I guess)

Racefan has PM’d the answer :)

Because I have not explained my role clear enough, I will refrain from revealing the answer and become the winner of this round. Please do not PM the answer to me unless you will be gone for a pretty long time (eg. 24 hours).

So, er, did either of us get the right answer? If we didn’t, did Face authorize you to add a new word?

Neither of you are right.

6) Farewell

If you add “Cape” before these words, you get place names, right?

I know about Cape May, Cape Lookout and Cape Farewell. Can’t be bothered to check the others.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Cape Horn works too, I just remembered :D

Correct.

Here’s one more:

1) May
2) August
3) Cancer
4) Scot
5) Tangier

All are used in the phonetic alphabet?

All of them are Capitonyms.

He capitalized cancer, didn’t know why, looked up the word cancer. And here I am.

Doesn’t Tangier break that though? There’s no definition other than being a place

More tangy.

tang-ee-er, not tan-jeer

tang-ee-er, not tan-jeer

Doesn’t matter. Capitonyms are words with similar spellings, not necessarily corresponding pronunciations.

alexthenoob got it right (and surprisingly fast, I must admit).

1. cable

2. rose

3. violet

4. fort

5. note

When they are too hard, you do the obvious.

Can we have another word, please?

Gah. That was obvious…

I’m just stupid, that’s all.

6. Restaurant

Random guess:

Are they all magazine names? I know about the Restaurant magazine and the Violet magazine. Google says that there is an “Of Note” magazine, a “Fort” magazine, and some alumni association magazine called “The Fort”

Ten-to-one, I am on a wild goose chase >.<

EDIT: If I can guess twice… they are all common countable nouns? :P

I must be too stupid. Give me another word please.

They’re all words that have are spelled the same in French

But isn’t note spelled as noter in French?
And isn’t there an accent over the French cable?

Still, I think you’ve got the right answer. Dang it, one of my potential answers was “Words that originated from French”, before I realized that does not apply to rose.
