On several tech podcasts I listen to (http://atp.fm http://atp.fm, https://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/ https://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/) they use fillers like "Yo, dingus!" to talk about alexa/hey siri/ok google
- vollmond 8y ago"My lady in the tube did this weird thing today" is something I've heard
- grdvnl 8y agoIt is interesting. But, how long before Alexa knows that is how people refer to her alternatively?
- vor0nwe 8y agoIt seems to me that once she knows _that_, it shouldn't be too hard for her to understand when she's not being referred to.
- jacobush 8y agoBut will she like it, and what will she do about it?
- kirubakaran 8y agoBest not mess with someone who knows where you live and has your credit card. If she's in a good mood, you might be hit with just a pizza prank. Hope she doesn't realize she can swat you without moving a finger.
- chias 8y agoMine will sometimes / often go off when I say "ok, cool". It's simultaneously amusing and annoying.
- Mandatum 8y ago"Cocaine poodle"
- kelnos 8y agoI was really hoping you were joking about that, but I can indeed get Google Assistant to pop up reliably by saying "cocaine poodle".
- roryisok 8y agoWell that's just great. How am I supposed to talk about my cocaine poodle now
- hokeyStrussle 8y agoI mean, that's an ambiguous term to begin with, and you'd confuse even humans with it. Like, are you referring to a sculpture made of cocaine in the image of a poodle, or are you talking about a poodle train in the ways of a St. Bernard rescue dog, capable of relaying quantities of said substance, or perhaps something else entirely?
- celticninja 8y agoI like how you went with the at Bernard analogy rather than day a traditional police drug dog.
- roryisok 8y agoI was referring to the poodle I snort my cocaine off the back of. You guys are crazy.

- hdkrgr 8y agoAnother convention seems to be 'Alexo' when you want to talk about Alexa but not to Alexa.
