    "I am." = shortest complete sentence in the English language.

    Is "No." not a complete sentence? Seriously asking

    It's "Go!" Which only wins as it comes first alphabetically.

    I don't think No is a sentence as there is no verb. Go! wins as it has a verb and an understood subject.

    Is "f*ᴄk!" a sentence? It's a very versatile word.

    Well it is a good verb. I think it could constitute it's own sentence.

    In English, "*kitten*" falls into many grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John *kitten* Mary) and intransitive (Mary was *kitten* by John).
    It's meaning is not always sexual, it can be used as an adjective such as (John's doing all the *kitten* work). As an adverb (Mary is *kitten* interested in john), and as part of an adverb (Shirley talks too *kitten* much). As an adverb enhancing an adjective (Shirley is *kitten* beautiful). As a noun (I don't give a *kitten*). As part of a word (AbsoFUCKINGlutely or inFUCKINGcredible).
    It can be an action verb (John really gives a *kitten*), a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a *kitten*), or an interjection (*kitten*! I'm late for my date with Mary). It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, *kitten* she's also stupid).
    And as almost every word in the sentence (*kitten* the *kitten* *kitten*).

    Don't get your panties up in a bunch...because I use the M word as a adjective? As when I landed at the airport I was confronted by an American hating, frog leg eating, snail sucking, *kitten*, *kitten* sucking bureaucrat. Cause I'd rather use it as a noun as in, this *kitten* hates Americans so much even though we saved his country's *kitten* in not only one world war, but two ... He still wouldn't let me bring in my cans. So now that we are clear about how I use M word... With no disrespect to you or your official capacity... as the guardian of your country's borders ... I would just move on with my cans.

    I am sure I have used every one of those scenarios. I actually say *kitten* way too much. It also can be said as (*kitten* me!) in a sexual way or an I am pissed off kind of way or just plain (*kitten*).

    I'm very entertained by what gets caught in the kitten filter and what gets through the kitten filter...but then, maybe I'm just easily entertained...

    That is a "pro sentence".

    But... after seeing the question on this.. and the contrary, I think "eff you" is a complete sentence..

    A sentence is a set of words, so one word expletives, commands, or exclamations, etc. do not qualify.

    Also, grammatically speaking...

    Star Trek uses a split infinitive in the statement, "To boldly go...". It should actually be, "To go boldly...".

    Dr. Elbert Dysart Botts invented the round non-reflective raised pavement markers that are on the Highway. They are more commonly referred to as Botts' Dots.

    At the end of The Goonies, a number of news reporters surround the titular group of teens and ask them questions about their adventure. Data (Jonathan Ke Huy Quan) tells one of the reporters that the octopus attack was “very scary and very dangerous.” But the audience never saw an octopus attack.
    A deleted scene explains what Data was talking about: The group was attacked by a giant octopus before they make it onto the pirate ship. Although the scene was cut out of the movie, it appeared in its computer game tie-in.

    Like this better:
    'Adolf Hitler had a son with a French teenager while serving as a soldier during the First World War, according to new evidence. Jean-Marie Loret, who died in 1985 aged 67, never met his father, but went on to fight Nazi forces during the Second World War.'
