A petite riddle for my children...
Reply
Posted 2004-02-02, 02:32 PM
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.

Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away... We'll be lost before the dawn...

podagry: Dodder, or the condition of a plant infested with it.

There are several other words that end in "gry" which are either no longer used or have had their spelling changed.

However, the answer you're looking for is either the third word of one of your sentences or nothing at all.

Also, gry is an actual word as well, however it's not common, so not everyone would know the meaning.

The only one I could come up with is "gry", but it also said that everybody knows what it means, and I doubt youngsters like Chruser would know what it meant off-hand.

Umm...i think gry is some type of measurement right?

EDIT: yea...it is a measurement...this is from dictionary.com

\Gry\, n. [Gr ? syllable, bit.] 1. A measure equal to one tenth of a line. [Obs.] --Locke.

2. Anything very small, or of little value. [R.]

I still find it funny that DFD creates this thread all pompous-like and doesn't even get the riddle right.
