"gry" puzzler answer

"Here is the question in its correct "puzzle" form. "Think of words ending in -gry. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everybody uses everyday. If you have listened carefully , I've already told you what it is."
The secret here is that the real question is "There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?" That is, there are only three words in the phrase "the English language". The third word is "language", which is indeed something we use every day. The first two words are "the" and "English".

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, five words in the English language end in -gry. In addition to the common angry and hungry:


aggry, a glass bead found buried in the earth in Ghana.

puggry, a light scarf wound around a hat or helmet to protect the head from the sun, and

meagry, of meager appearance

mawgry -- from Old French: being regarded with displeasure

anhungry -- an obsolete synonym for hungry;."

Well, she got it wrong when it came to me. Thanks much, I can use this.

Jim,
Thanks a lot for the complete answer to this one. I heard it about 9 months ago and couldn't remember it properly, but knew it wasn't as it appeared. (besides, I was going nuts trying to remember it....)
