ANSWERS: Rebus Buster 2

Thirteen days have passed by since "Rebus Buster 2" (complete with artwork made by me) was posted on this blog, and since then, fifteen people have correctly solved it, including the first person to take advantage of my simplified hint system that launched last April:

  • Grant Fikes
  • Cindy Heisler
  • Dave C.
  • Tyler Hinman
  • Kevin Orfield
  • Patrick Jordan
  • Mama Ellen
  • Sam Levitin
  • Karen Spencer
  • Mom
  • Tamara Brenner
  • Al Sisti
  • Marich
  • Seth Christenfeld
  • Peter Abide [Hints Used]
Now head below the break for the answers as well as a solver's comment!

1) Cannoneer [CAN + NUN + EAR]
2) Honesty [ON + NEST + TEA]
3) Hornets [HORN + NETS]
4) Nicholson [NICKEL + SUN]
5) Parody [PEAR + ODIE]
6) Singapore [SING + UP + OAR]

The remaining pictures are BISON, TEN, KNEE, ELM, and ANN, in that order, which combine to sound out BICENTENNIAL MAN

For the record, the actual film isn't nearly as light-hearted as this trailer makes it out to be

Solver Peter Abide became the first person to ask for hints since the new, star-less system was adopted not too long ago, and once he got the Final Answer after some nudges from yours truly, he self-deprecatingly remarked that "Southerners always have trouble with pronunciation puzzles!"
