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?

Catch_22

this floated around work a while back,
i dont have any of the resulting links handy but first off the actual riddle has become mutated over time such that it no longer works out, in the original phrasing the catch was that it was actually asking for the third word of the first sentence of the riddle,

secondly there is actually 5 words ending in gry and dammed if i can remember what they are

well done Micr0

In its proper, original form, the first two sentences have absolutely
nothing to do with the question: "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry
and hungry are two of them." Ignore those two sentences. They are there
only to throw you off course. (And it worked, didn't it?) What's left
is the actual riddle itself: "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." The key is the phrase "the English language." In this three-word
phrase, the third word is simply the word "language." Get it? "Language"
is definitely something that "everyone uses every day"!
