the correct version of the riddle

[suckyFrenchVegita]

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 everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

Quick tip, it's best to reply to a thread with this info rather than starting a new thread about it

And it's also not really worth posting if it already has.

hungry

&quot;-gry&quot; is the only other &quot;gry&quot; reference you made in your post. That, my friend, is not a word; it's a suffix.

Other than those two, I'm too lazy to think of others.

The answer to the riddle is 'language'. On the other hand, I found this pretty interesting:

gry \Gry\, n. [Gr ? syllable, bit.] 1. A measure equal to one tenth of a line. [Obs.] --Locke.

2. Anything very small, or of little value. [R.]

This is a very gry thread.

language doesn't end with -gry

omg! you actually found the word gry!


woah...

anyway, that's a lousy riddle. I wasn't going to give it the satisfaction of telling people that I knew the answer

--okay okay, so I didn't know crap.

There are only three words in the English language.

It's an incredibly old, and equally lame riddle.

how moronic is that statement? you can also read it with hungry as the answer. maybe it should be rephrased. idiot.

 

[Looney]

Yes this was a lame riddle... but it wasn't as lame as the $#@%$ that posted the butchered one.
