lighting

light

Lamp.

desk

surface

(I was going to say Unicor because they make furniture (desks) for prisons.. but i realized that would probably make a dead end.. but there isnt a rule against proper nouns.. there probably should be.. since some may not be well known and therefore the association that someone might make is "huh?")

edge

(good addition to the rules, I would think)

cliff

(Very true, but isn't a bit far in the game already to change the rules?)

drop

(not necessarily since we've changed the rules in the word game midway through to reflect better understanding of how the game should work)

rock

(since these games tend to not really "end".. where would you suggest we start changing the rules at? And even when something gets stuck and has to start from a new point.. there really isnt a time period where everyone sits around and discusses changes.. the best place to change things is right when you notice the problem as long as everyone agrees)

guitar

(Hmm, well ok, I have nothing else to say so, lets continue.)

bass

Salmon.

(I'll take care of the rules edit on the first post.)

fillet

(Ok, thanks.)

buffet

(two commonly used English words that originated from French which are both occasionally mispronounced)

restaurant

(Here's another food source.)
