What is the answer to this damn thing?

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?

The correct version of this ridde is:


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.


see if you can figure it out now

not the solution, but he's something:

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

Over on the rec.puzzles usenet group, this one inspired the coined word "FAQgry" - as the "answer" to this well-worn and ill-repeated is item #1 in the FAQ.
