Someone sent this to me since July and I would periodically look at it to no avail. I know some smart person's out there that will have the answer just like that.
========================
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

Hey! Is it thuggry???!!! Is thuggry even a word or a derivative, which we colloquially invented?

heheheheee
Mennn this thing hard oh...see how u have gotten me cracking my brain.....must pass this exam...will be back.
So i read the puzzle, like 3 times, 4th time i decided to read it out loud...then i checked dictionary.com for the meaning of "gry"...go do that, it actually has a meaning, and it begins and ends with "gry"...yipeee mo mo we o, wheres my cookie?:D
jintagry dear, how are you doing? do solve this puzzlegry fast before we all grow tumour in our brains!
my colleague is sleeping in the office, and he is snoring the answer away:
'grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyy!!!!!!!'
@ florida - you think I know? We dey the same boat
@ cat'gry - the prize is a ministerial position so we can propagate corruption
@ sha - seems correct, but i dont know where the gry comes in - this has got me confused
@ afro - your determination comes to the fore again: let me know how your head feels, for the strain
@ omosewa - ministerial position for you too.
@ isi - 'fraid I don't know the answer. I did an Omosewa and peeked into dictionary.com, which says 'gry' is a little unit of something or a small measure of the other, that's fine; however, the answer also says 'language' (see sha's response), and this closely matches the riddle in that 'we use it every day'. But where's the gry in language?
Jinta now...i have used 2 hrs of my work time to try and crack this madness. i deserved a reward for attempting to solve it. Since "attempted murder' gets jail time, i deserve a reward...abi.
for real, wat is the freaking answer?
@ ondlow - lol. I 'hands up'. Believe me, I don't know.
ok, i don't think that there is a right answer...
having said that, possibilities are...
1) agree--- spelling is totally disregarded.
2) synergy or energy, etc--- the order of the letters are disregarded.
what do y'all think?
oh dear,
i can't believe u guys u dont ve the answer, even wen its staring right at u.
the answer is jinta-gry, lol
seriously oo, thats the most appropriate answer, well my opinion o
How is language the right answer? i dont get it
LMAO at Catwalqgry
Jinta what is the answer now?!
ok! let me tell u what i could make out of it:
'gry' as used in pronunciation would include angry, hungry, and 'agree'. alot of people would have thought of it as a word instead of prononciation; this makes it what it is- a riddle (a baffling problem, a mystery, test of ingenuity).
then from another angle, if u ask someone to give the 'gry' answer and u say:
"what is the third word in 'THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE'"
you could either mistake this meaning to provide a third 'gry' word; but what the puzzle means is the third word in 'THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE' is.......LANGUAGE!
its a riddle so it comes with the normal twists. lol!
@Isi: go Isi! gos Isi!! go! go! go Isi!!! u da baybe!!! me don lose hope already...lol
@ 4ward - yoy totally lost me there
@ ms. emmotions - you hit it right on the head, yours truly-gry
@ allied - same boat as you, but see Prof. Isi's explanation
@ 30+ - you have to cast your gaze towars isi for the answer, my brain refused to expand that much.
@ isi - beauty and brains. Potent combination
@ onome - I'm right at your side
mennnn this riddle is giving me sleepless nights...but am still on it...Afro must pass this exam...but you sure say ee get answer?
@ afro - na wa o! There is some debate about whether the answer is language or gry.
I checked up at
http://www.fun-with-words.com/word_gry_angry_hungry.html
I guess we'll never agree on this one.
So what's the answer?
