words that end in gry?

Answer 1

Very clever, you think there are only two:
angry, hungry, but to your surprise, there is a third one:
kangry (which is short for kangaroo)

Gotcha, but you are welcome

Answer 2

I could only think of 2 but here is what I found?



There are three English words that end with -gry. Two of them are "hungry" and "angry." What's the third? --Listener, Alan B. Colmes show, WNBC radio, New York

Cecil replies:

Every time I go on the radio I know this one's bound to come up sooner or later, along with "name an English word that contains all the vowels just once in the right order." (Answer: facetiously. Come on, you think I was born yesterday?)

I don't know that I'd put either question on a par with the search for the unified field theory, but since you insist, here's the answer: the word is gry, meaning "one tenth of a line"--not, as one might guess in these degraded times, a unit of measurement in the drug trade, but rather part of the decimal system of linear measurement proposed by English philosopher John Locke (1632-1704).

A gry was a hundredth of an inch and a thousandth of a "philosophical foot." Too bad Locke's idea didn't catch on; the thought of measuring things in philosophical feet has an ineffable poignance. The Oxford English Dictionary says gry is also an obsolete verb meaning to rage or roar.

But wait. Lest you think there is only one right answer to the truly cosmic questions of life, I should advise you of the existence of puggry and aggry, which also fill the bill. Puggry is an alternate spelling of puggree, meaning either an Indian turban or a scarf wound around a sun helmet with the end hanging down in back as a shade. An aggry bead, according to my Webster's Third, is a "variegated glass bead found buried in the earth in Ghana and England."

As with many enigmatic dictionary definitions, this leaves one abubble with questions: Who buried them? And why Ghana and England? Sadly, we must defer the amazing answer till some later date.

One last thing. Occasionally you'll hear the question above framed this way: "There are three English words ending with -gry. Two of them are hungry and angry. The third word is very common; in fact you have just encountered it. What is the third word?"

Naturally you are puzzled, because none of the words Cecil has just quoted is common. How do we explain this?

Easy. You are the victim of a despicable trick. The desired answer is "three."

Answer 3

gry- smallest unit in Lockes decimal system
aggry- color glass beads
braggry- variant form of bragery
conyngry- rabbit warren
iggry- Egyptian pronunciation of "Hurry Up"
meagry-having meagre appearance
nangry-variant form of angry
podogry- condition of plant infested with dodder
puggry- light turban
I was curious, so this is the best I could come up with for you. Probably not much use but, maybe. Only angry and hungry are the only two in the english so to speak language.
