Many beanis are saying this
Between them E, T, A, O, I, and N hold the majority of letters in texts. These are the upper class.
Throwing in the S, H, R, D, and L bourgeoisie accounts for more than three quarters.
This leaves C, U, M, W, F, G, Y, P, B, V, K, X, J, Q, and Z to share less than one quarter of the written letters in English.
I'm not sure that the obvious word of the proletariat needs to be used more, though.
How about syzygy?

Syzygy is my go-to word for playing hangman
That's why I remembered it.
Well in english all words include vowels and you are excluding every vowel except u and (sometimes) y

mitochondria cause its the “powerhouse of the cell”
what even is a powerhouse??
the c r a a a z z y thing about mitochondria is that it's a completely separate organism!!!! what the fuck!!!!! it has it's own genetic code.
and there is no known life existing without them????
it is the perfect roommate of the cell.
idk how to use the word more
you can use it to debunk "race science" by way of "mitochondrial eve" but I almost never get to pull that one out.
there is no known life existing without them????
Prokaryotes do not have mitochondria. Prokaryotes outweigh animals about 40:1, so we shouldn't overlook them.

How about a phrase?
(It's not) even wrong.
The first few sentences of the Wiki pages are formal. But sometimes the phrase comes to my mind when I'm playing speed chess or trying to play the guitar. How did I screw it up this badly?
"Not even wrong" is a phrase used to describe pseudoscience or bad science. It describes an argument or explanation that purports to be scientific but uses faulty reasoning or speculative premises, which can be neither affirmed nor denied and thus cannot be discussed rigorously and scientifically. Peter Woit uses the phrase "not even wrong" to mean "unfalsifiable".
Origin of the expression
The phrase is generally attributed to the theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli, who was known for his colorful objections to incorrect or careless thinking.
Rudolf Peierls documents an instance in which "a friend showed Pauli the paper of a young physicist which he suspected was not of great value but on which he wanted Pauli's views. Pauli remarked sadly, 'It is not even wrong'." This may also be quoted as "That is not only not right; it is not even wrong", or in Pauli's native German, "Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig; es ist nicht einmal falsch!" Peierls remarks that quite a few apocryphal stories of this kind have been circulated, and mentions that he listed only the ones personally vouched for by him. He quotes another example when Pauli replied to Lev Landau, "What you said was so confused that one could not tell whether it was nonsense or not."
