The "-GRY" Riddle!

OK, this riddle was brough to by my grandpa and was given to him by his dieing mother. I have found the answer after much debate and searching the web. SO i bring it to hypography. If you know the answer...don't share it right away. If you are cheap and have to search the web for the answer then go ahead, but don't share...

Here we gooo!

There are three words in the english language that ends with the letters "GRY."
One is hungry and the other in angry. What is the third word in the english lanuage.

Op5 (there are multiply versions of this riddle, try this version first)

Re: The "-GRY" Riddel!

That's one that's circulated the web for years. It's hit my inbox probably a dozen times. Aside from the answer you are seeking, did you know that gry is actually a word itself. It's an old term for a hundreth of an inch. There are several other old words that end in gry as well but I'll leave them for others to mention.
