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".
