6. Hmm..Dwarf and Dweeb. First two that come to mind

7. period, comma, quotation marks, exclamation point, colon, semi-colon, parenthesis, points of elipses...

Sandals, socks, shoes, slippers, stilts, stilettos, stink..

Oh! I got #1 right.
Ack, I should have know half of number 3.
And duh, why didn't I think of number 8?

This was fun!

OK, see, I thought lettuce, but I have issues with the question. Technically, I would consider bagged salad to be "processed"; obviously they do not, though.
