well theres this riddle and i seriously cant think of the word so if any of u can, can u tell me what the word is?
A 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? _______gry?
