       | I've been using "Hey Google, Shut Up!" for a few years now. It
       | works pretty well.

         | A common issue in my house is that someone says "Hey Google,
         | Stop!" which of course turns off the music/video that is

         | the keyword do something different for the one command that
         | doesn't need it is a really smart move.

       | Not wanting to impose my will upon others so ignoring the latter
       | half of that reasoning, it at least feels like that should be a
       | configuration option? Something more unique, like 'Google Alarm,
       | Stop' or what have you seems more appropriate.
