I've been trying to work this out for hours So I thought i'd turn to the fellow Corsasporter's for some help. Here goes -
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?

No idea, but does it relate to anything in the riddle?

There's actually a fair few including 'gry' itself . It's an old trick question that's lost its meaning through being paraphrased through time.
