I've heard that there are 3 English words ending in -gry. I can only think of hungry & angry. Can anyone provide help for the third one?
Thanks

Here's the whole ugly (or is that ugry?) story:

Ha! Beat ya by 8 seconds!!!
From Dictionary.com:
nugry
/n[y]oo'gree/ [Usenet, 'newbie' + '-gry'] `. n. A
newbie who posts a FAQ in the rec.puzzles newsgroup, especially
if it is a variant of the notorious and unanswerable "What, besides
`angry' and `hungry', is the third common English word that ends in
-GRY?". In the newsgroup, the canonical answer is of course `nugry'
itself. Plural is `nusgry' /n[y]oos'gree/. 2. adj. Having the
qualities of a nugry.
Good luck.

As Robert Burns did NOT say, "The best laid plans of mice and men go oft aggry."
Hmm... Can't say I aggry with that, Dr. Bill.
