All the letters of the alphabet - (just for fun)

[Phil Dart]

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

This is the text that is commonly used for writing tests or font samples and so on, because it contains all the letters of the alphabet.

Does any one have any other phrases I wonder?

Here's one I quite like...

"Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs"

 

[Frederick]

Know this phrase well as I used to be a telegraph tech in the Army. Phrase was used to check Baudot code, teleprinters, and circuits.
Indelibly printed on the mind Drove me mad

 

[Pierre---]

The most famous pangram in French is: Portez ce vieux whisky au juge blond qui fume. One word comes from your country. Booze again...




It was not easy to write one in a foreign language. I cannot do better than a 33 letters sentence, one letter more than yours Phil, but I did it. :smile:
Ex-judge paving with my blocks of quartz!

 

[Phil Dart]

Ha Ha. I'd like to meet the smoking blonde

 

[Dalboy]

Now try and find one without using any letter more than once.

 

[Pierre---]

"XV fjord nymphs beg a quick waltz"
But it is not mine...

 

[wm460]

Ha Ha. I'd like to meet the smoking blonde

Where did you get the smoking blonde from?

Google translate gave me this.

"Wear this old whiskey to the blonde judge who smokes "

 

[Phil Dart]

I don't think anyone's wearing the whisky Mark - they're taking it I believe - either to the hypercritical old lush in the corner with a fag hanging out her gob, or to the legally qualified supermodel with so much sex appeal that her suspenders are on fire.

(I plumped for the second image)

I will second that.

I have a vision of a slender French blonde wearing a long slinky dress, pouting lips, sitting alone, slowly sipping a whiskey in a corner of dimly lit cafe at 3am during the 1940’s. She slowly draws upon a long cigarette allowing the smoke to drift softly and slowly across her face and away.

Oh boy, I need help MEDICS!!!!!

What colour dress??
You can't leave us in suspense like that!!

 

[Pierre]

Where did you get the smoking blonde from?

Google translate gave me this.

"Wear this old whiskey to the blonde judge who smokes "

The translation is actually 'carry this old whisky to the blond judge who smokes.' Which just goes to show that google translate is rubbish, also the word is 'whisky' as in the scotch as opposed to 'whiskey' as in the non-scottish!! Aren't languages fun.

 

[Pierre---]

Pierre, you should not have translated! Penturners imagination was so creative...
Well, let us go on thinking the judge was a female.

Funny, there was no fantasy about the fifteen Swedish nymphs? Guys!

I cant help it I'm a professional interpreter and a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists!! Besides at my age I was thinking about the whisky

Ha ha. Swedish nymphs are ten a penny Pierre. They're propping up the bar in almost every pub.

Smoking judges? Not commonplace! Anyway, it's Frederick you've got to worry about, not me

 

[Phil Dart]

Do you get fjords in Sweden, by the way? Would they have been Norwegian nymphs?

Now, that would make a pleasant change. Everyone here is fed up with the Swedish ones

 

[Penpal]

As a country it depends on your budget and what you can Fiord.

Peter.

 

[Phil Dart]

I have another pangram.

The brave jealous pen makers who publicly quiz zealous highly sexed fantasies
