An airplane song is a song that would sound really good to listen to on a plane. These songs have a nostalgic vibe (regardless of the age or relevance of the song) and feel memorable and free-flowing. They also have a nighttime vibe. They are neither super upbeat nor a sad ballad. Surprisingly, many popular pop songs go under this category. Some well-known examples include:
Style by Taylor Swift (and also half of that album)
Streets by Doja Cat
Ridin Solo by Jason Derulo
Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner
Into You by Ariana Grande
Attention by Charlie Puth
Be The One by Dua Lipa
I Feel it Coming by The Weeknd
Lost by Frank Ocean
Who Knew by P!nk
Wide Awake by Katy Perry(she has very many of these!)

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".

The liminal space that consists of interior of all airplanes and airports. It is everywhere, and it is nowhere. Time and space work differently there, and you'll never know who you'll run into.
John has been trapped in airplane land for seven hours since his flight got canceled and his itinerary changed.
