Alcoholagry. Example- I need to determine if I'm sober enough to drive. I shall perform an alcoholagry. Obviously I failed.

Here is an excerpt from a post answering this "riddle" that I found here:

Quote:
Here is the riddle in its original form:

"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."

In its proper, original form, the first two sentences have absolutely
nothing to do with the question: "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry
and hungry are two of them." Ignore those two sentences. They are there
only to throw you off course. (And it worked, didn't it?) What's left
is the actual riddle itself: "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." The key is the phrase "the English language." In this three-word
phrase, the third word is simply the word "language." Get it? "Language"
is definitely something that "everyone uses every day"! Without that
quirky little twist, the puzzle would be just another trivia question,
not a riddle.

"Simple, when you know the answer!"
