Really annoying email / riddle

> > > > > A RIDDLE THAT'LL KILL YOUR BRAIN!

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?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Really annoying email / riddle

jesus, you think of them off the top of your head??:spangled:

Ok apart from the hyphenated words how many of those have u heard used in every day conversation?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Really annoying email / riddle

google, innit.

you've obviously never spoke to people into gamesworkshop related stuff.

anway i didn't say they were used everyday, i'm just saying they are still classed as part of the english language.

i'll stop being so anal now.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Really annoying email / riddle
