This.

Second best one-word sentence: "Shit."

Anything can happen after that sentence, including, but not limitted to, death.

cgarci21:
After reading some of the "other" suggestions I must put my vote in for inconcievable...its iconic.

The Duke:
My favourite one-word sentence is "What."

Used to great effect here and here.

Carl-E:
"Inconscheivable" may be iconic, but it has such limited usage.  

"Shit" is pretty good, but it suffers the same fate as "Fuck", "Damn", and even "Daaaaannng", it's only so flexible because it's not being used literally (what's the literal meaning of Dang, anyway?).  

I think Reiver's "YOU" has a lot of merit - with the right inflection it can mean so many different things!  I've used it to great effect myself for everything from love to exasperation to intimations of doom.  

I especially like the last one.

--- End quote ---

Forty-two is a compound noun: two nouns bound together to name a person, place, thing, or, in this case, an abstract idea. Whether that counts as a single word in your book depends, I suppose, on the book.
