coorage
Da problem with "coorage" is dat while it may indeed make you feel less bashful/hesitant in awkward/frightening situations, it very likely will lessen your inhibitions, as well, and so what might seem like merely "bold 'n' brave" actions to you at da time might actually infringe on other people's personal boundaries.
Airplane! mode
Da setting on yer smart phone where Siri tells you not to call her "Shirley" anytime you utter da "it must be da case" word.
Me: Hey Siri --- bring up "Lassie Come-Home" on archive.org.
Siri: I'm sorry --- that book has been pulled from the site due to copyright lawsuits.
Me (incredulously): Pulled due to copyright...?? THAT ancient classic?! Surely there must be some mistake!
Siri: There **isn't** a mistake --- and don't call me "Shirley".
Me: Ooops --- I see that I left my phone in "Airplane! mode".
P.S. Kidding aside, Siri apparently CAN INDEED be programmed to cheekily sass you back like this; here's what da Google-AI response had to say when I posed da question:
Yes, Siri can be programmed to respond with "And don't call me Shirley" when you say "Surely".
Here's how you can do it:
(1) Open the Shortcuts app: Launch the pre-installed Shortcuts application on your iPhone.
(2) Create a new shortcut: Tap the "+" button in the top right corner to create a new shortcut.
(3) Add a trigger: In the "New Shortcut" screen, tap "Add Action" and then search for and select "When I say".
(4) Enter the trigger phrase: Type "Surely" into the text field next to "When I say".
(5) Add the response action: Tap "Add Action" again and search for and select "Speak Text".
(6) Enter the response: In the "Speak Text" action, type in "And don't call me Shirley".
(7) Save the shortcut: Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save your new shortcut.
Now, whenever you say "Surely" to Siri, it should respond with "And don't call me Shirley".

Gnashville
Since da city of Memphis is both also in da same state and similarly renowned for its music, I wonder if dat's one major reason dat its east-northeasterly-located counterpart is called "Gnashville", since da two major locales are in equally-major jaws-clenching competition with each other.

calvitation
Cows love to swim no matter what their age, so they'll likely go on splashingly cavorting long after da "calvitation" period in their life-cycle.
