The quick brown cat jumped over the lazy dog

it is a stupid example of pointless typing practice
as useful as typing "computer" a thousand times over
no matter how many times you practice, you'll never type "z" very efficiently
so give it up

try typing things that matter
... please don't fire me big boss man
... I'm sorry I lit your house on fire
... electrostatic shock is a serious concern for hackers the world over

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

A phrase that makes losing a game of hangman impossible when playing with one guesser. This is due to the usage of every letter in the English alphabet.

Person 1: Hey, you up for a game of Hangman?
Person 2: Definitely!
Person 1: Ok, the category is...
Person 2: seriously? You’re mistaking Hangman with Wheel of Fortune. No hints.
Person 1: Fine. It’s not like you can possibly lose anyway.
Person 2: I hate you. It’s “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,” isn’t it?
Person 1: How...?
Person 2: I’m a computer geek. I use it to make sure my keyboard is working because it contains every letter of the alphabet. And the only thing that makes it impossible to lose at hangman is if you have a phrase that has 18 letters out of the 26 in the alphabet in the least. Eliminating mistakes completely is a low blow.
