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.
