"There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is. What is the third word?"

Solve that one!

after a quick check on the internet. I have found out that this riddle that you have posted is not stated properly. Just thought I would let you know.

If I remembered or wanted to post a link I would but here is the site that explains why the way you stated the riddle is wrong and what the correct riddle looks like.

Hope that helps.

If you would like to make it so "language" is the correct answer, you must go back and put the quotation marks in where they belong.

There is more then one version of this riddle Cylo, such as this one:
This is going to make you so MAD! There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? _______gry?

and then the one on that site, and others, I just choose that version of it, its not wrong.

You'd have been better off to go with "onegry".

And what is up with looking on the net for an answer, is it not possible o just think and come up with an answer?!

Cylo February 27 2006 1:25 PM EST

the answer was already given. I was looking at something because I had seen that riddle before. if you really look into it. They say that the other versions are variations that don't really come up with the correct answer. That same thought is shown on many many different riddle sites. So I knew the answer was given properly then looked on the internet because I thought I saw something that looked strange is all.

I think there is another word to do with the study of beetles or insects in general.

So you say people use onegry every day and know what it means?

Knowing Bast, I wouldn't doubt it.

This is basically a Bast = Win contest before anyone reads the riddle.

I feel like no one actually read it, they just went to the web for an easy answer. Thats all you people do, look for the bloody easy way out.
OMGZ what is the world comming to!!!!

QBBast [Hidden Agenda] February 27 2006 7:01 PM EST

A wretched little place, wherein people say "OMGZ". ;)
