“Baby chicks are ugly.”

Anyone who has ever walked into their local Tractor Supply knows how untrue that statement is. They are just the cutest little bundles of fluff ever!

Any single verb in the imperative form, that is, a command (such as “stop” or “speak”) is a complete sentence in one word. And I’d guess there aren’t any that are still waiting to be used.

^^ He did specify never used. I believed mine was never used – except perhaps in writing.

^^^ But he said “written.” And shortest.

Also I bet there are situations where someone realizes too late that they’ve done something fatal to themselves and that is all they have time to say. That happened to a nerdy type hgh school science genius kid who was carrying some dangerous chemical powder in one pocket and some sugar for a quick pop of enegy in another and he swallowed the wrong one at the water fountain. He ran into a classrom and shouted that he’d made a terrible mistake, and that did kill him. So that could happen.
