[–] remon@ani.social 63 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

They are all seals.

  • navy seal

  • some kind of seal on a pipe

  • wood sealant

  • seal on a letter

  • seal the singer

  • seal (animal)

Thanks. English first language here and it went right over my head. But then the first was a soldier to me.

Same, which lead me to think the second was some sort of solder pot. So, then I thought there was some word close to soldier and solder for the third picture of the paint/stain brush that I didn't know.

I got the three 'seals' at the bottom, though.

Yep, it took me the last two seals for me to get the idea.

Technically, Seal the singer is also an animal.

British English took over for me, It was ‘obviously’;

Soldier, bushing, varnish.

Seal, seal, seal.

Couldn’t work out why the top row was with the bottom row at all.

(There are no ‘navy seals’ to us, it’s SBS - special boat service, like SAS but bad-asser, and more secret?)
