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

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

    I was wondering that about Yes.

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

    Or the old joke about the shortest sentence.....you hold your thumb and forefinger to your lips and breath in like your taking a puff then hold your hand away and say 'Ere!'

    How about "Eh?"

    Doh! :)

    Does "A-OK" count?

    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..
