Figure of Speech
I learned a new word today. Pangram. That means a sentence, like the one above, that combines all the letters of the alphabet. I’ve checked, and this one really does. And besides that, it’s got truth.

Isn’t it missing a q?
It’s missing a LOT of letters, unless the quote in its entirety is in the link somewhere. But the page that the link directs to is SO long that I can’t find the original.
Dug deeper. ‘Sexy of body, yet scared of the swimsuit’ is the english translation of the Dutch pangram ‘Sexy qua lijf, doch bang voor’t zwempak’.
Ahhh. That makes sense now.
