Gang, I received this riddle and can't solve it. I do NOT have the answer.Is this legit or a prank ??? mrpro

Whoops, I forgot to post the riddle:

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?

Maybe there are four. I don't use this one every day, but often, quite often.

ogry

Resembling, or pertaining to, an ogre.
1939, James Joyce, Finnegans Wake,
Opvarts and at ham, or this ogry Osler will oxmaul us all...

Branny, I am impressed: anybody that gets tsuwm to use an exclamation point can know they really earned it! ;-)
