I was thinking that number 1 could be dishonor (you give honors to some folks) and number 6 could also be disfigure as we are trying to figure dis stuff out
oh yea...agree with Nvrsleep...i thought of disfigure also for no.6...forgot to mention that one...seems like many answers suit
That was very good and very clever!! I got them all but the first two. I liked it, keep it up!!
Not really nvrsleep, because honor is something intrinsic in the nature of a person, not something you can give someone. You can "honor them," but not give them honor.

But once you read it, it's an awesome teaser!
