Threesomes [4 remaining to solve]

A favorite of mine from years past, this puzzle by Stitchman uses an alphabetical list of seemingly unrelated words which are combined into groups of three in a category. Your job is to find three words related to each other 'and' match them with one of the lettered categories.

Oh by the way...some words appear to fit in more than one category
