Alexa is always learning new stuff. Just recently, she learned a lot of new regional words for the many dialects in the UK with the help of Susie Dent, so ask her “Alexa, what are regional words for nonsense?” and she’ll tell you a bunch of them. You might even learn some you didn’t know.
But Amazon has also given her funny responses to many questions. You’ll find a list over more than 100 below (we lost count).
