Can't see why it wouldn't be.
The clue specified the substance was plant-derived; I don't know if that makes a difference. (I said salve too.) There's also the "You're the..." punny TOM, but that doesn't pin it.
There are people who spend time thinking about these things!

Especially since I tend to pronounce the "L" in balm. :lol:

I said salve as well. Then I wasn't sure if it would be counted correct since it didn't really fit the hint of "You're the balm (bomb)." I've never heard anyone say someone was [something that sounds kinda like salve].
Salvy I have been called, but never simply the salve.
I'm smart and I want respect.

I love that commercial. My sister pronounces almond like that and it's always been like nails on a chalkboard to me. She also pronounces "milk" as "melk." :D

A couple weeks ago I saw a commercial for almond milk that must've used "ahmond" about 20 times.

I say "melk" myself but I've been trying to correct that. However, I will continue to defent "diabeetus" as a valid pronunciation until the day I die (although I hope I don't die of 'beetus).
