What would you call them then? “Guaranteed to hit except for parry”?
“generally/typically guaranteed to hit”
That’s a weasel word though. It basically means “not guaranteed to hit”, which is every other physical attack in the game. It’s ambiguous and doesn’t communicate anything useful to the player.
What “guaranteed to hit” is trying to communicate is that the attack roll is bypassed so that it succeeds automatically. Unfortunately, the way this interacts with parry is that it is “guaranteed to block” the attack. Unstoppable force meets immovable object! Well in this case, immovable object is pre-ordained to win.
