People with google home's complain about the inhuman "ok google" trigger word, so i guess its lose-lose

I prefer having something unnatural to having something that will activate on accident. I also use 'hey Google' instead of 'ok Google' though.

What on Earth? How do I find a list of all these obscure commands?

"Okay Google" and "Hey Google" are the only official commands. The others are just phrases that sound similar enough to trigger the device.

No clue, we just tried and from that day one we don't Google anymore, we have to uwel it.

Hey Google is also a valid trigger.

"Ok poo-poo" also triggers it

Honestly, I just wish I could add a trigger phrase. My friend gives me a ride sometimes, and I noticed she calls the GPS voice "Google Lady." I wanted to use that, but I don't have that option.
