The following two seem obvious, but to me, "cancer" does not make sense with any of the other words.  Does it make sense for anyone else?

prostate cancer  
cancer-causing

Oh! oh! what about plant, like, nuclear plant and green plant?

And for swing jazz and golf swing, is backswing a word?

Hint #1:  One of the match-ups is a well-known nickname for the beautiful plant Miconia.

I wasn't sure if any of you would get it.

Both correct!  Huzzah!


(And I'm guessing you had to look up Miconia.  You did, didn't you?)

Fusion!

Nuclear fusion
Fusion energy
and, uh... fusion jazz.

Except the term is jazz fusion, so I'm probably wrong.

The terms are used interchangeably; I hadn't realized that "jazz fusion" was more common than "fusion jazz".  Oh well.

Congratulations!  On to round 2!

Okay!  Here are the rules!

Every correct answer in round 1 was worth 1 point.  Every correct answer in round 2 will be worth 3.  The final answer will be worth 9.  Have at it.

Words carried over from round 1 (sorted alphabetically, as always):

Guessed by Ari:

breast stroke
breast cancer
breastfeeding

cold fusion
common cold
cold war

wild oats
wild animal
Idlewild


Jingle Bell Rock has 7 points.

Ari has 11.

Good luck!
