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's the 3rd word that ends in "gry" ?

"Language"

ehh..."got me by that much" (in my best Maxwell Smart voice)

I've seen this before and this is what I found when searching for it before:

The answer is supposedly "language."

I don't particularly like this explanation, but here it is: <a href='http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/language/g/gry.html' target='_blank'>http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/l...uage/g/gry.html</a>

Correct based on the link. Although that was dirty and I'll make the next ones harder b/c of that.

I would've posted it five minutes ago but I kept rereading it and saying "that can't be right." :laugh:

umm...didn't witty get it before I did?

I knew the link because I'd been forwarded that riddle quite a bit and was sick of it. But, make them harder. It'll separate the men from the boys (or women from the girls for you PC folks).

I can put a y on my grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs and that will definitely be in my language. oooooooooooo that was rotten!!!!

@ witty for answering the crazy algebra question. jesus man, you been plotting trajectories for nasa in your spare time in oxford?

Hey, I wonder why there are no riddles up now?? Do we need to stay up until 11:30 to participate? :rolleyes:

The woman cleaning the corner. Since it's a circle bar, there are no corners so it must be her.

Keep em coming!

Jackie Sherrill did it. Christ knows he hasn't been busy coaching this year. Yeah, he killed her and blamed Joe Lee Dunn and Sparky Woods. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sherrill wouldn't have killed her. He would've given her a hysterectomy.

Gotta love his motivational techniques.

He walks over there and eats it. The rope wasn't said to be tied to anything else.
