Which sentence, and what it fits
There is one sentence people mean by this, and it is the first one. Nineteen words, 123 characters, ending on a full stop rather than trailing off. It is the recognisable fragment because it is the opening — the half-line that has appeared in a thousand mockups and that nobody has ever read to the end.
The length turns out to be useful beyond simply being short. At 123 characters it sits just under the 155 or so a search result will show, which makes it a fair stand-in while you are laying out a description field and want to see where real text would clip. It is also close to a two-line caption at most body sizes, and long enough to overflow a narrow single-line input, which is usually what you want when you are testing one.
For something shorter still there is no page, and deliberately so: below a sentence the text stops being recognisable and becomes two Latin words.
