Rhymester

remeber this is a riddle not a trivia question. Keep searching the net you'll find it

it's not so much a riddle as a play on words-there is no answer to the one that you gave as it was said wrongly...the riddle is quite old, and it goes along the lines of,
"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."
and the answer is, of course, "language"...

yes, Genius has solved the riddle. I apologize for the wording confusion. I did not know the answer so i posted it here. I then investigated on the web and found similar asnwers that were were posted in response. Thank you all for your time.

Genius has anyone told yuo you sort of sound like the genius from "The Princess Bride"?
