Usually she'd have been crying out "Oh God!" but last night her mother was right in the next room so she had to have an airplane mode orgasm.

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".

Similar to "flight mode FOMO", this term refers to the ability to abstain from watching YouTube during flights as you must put your smartphone (and tablet) on airplane mode whilst still being unable to abstain from watching YouTube outside flights.
Every time I board a plane, I experience serious airplane mode FOMO, knowing I can't watch my favorite YouTube videos while still scrolling through my playlist for hours after landing.

When you put your phone on airplane mode while on a call with someone so you can claim that you lost your connection when really you just didn’t wanna talk to them.

Matt : no he just airplane moded you
