Simply have someone else in your party use a Free Action to say a triggering word
You can technically trigger off your own free action/triggering word.

Hmmm. I suppose so.
Well, that makes it even easier to trigger off anything you want.

Oooh, that must be why spell-casters in the Order of the Stick always shout the names of their spells! :D :D

I agree with your point of view, I am just playing Devil's Advocate right now.
Immediate Reaction: A readied action is an
immediate reaction. It takes place after your enemy
completes the action that triggers it.

Ouch... With a narrow interpretation, you could disallow the tried and true rogue tactic of readying an action for an ally to move into flanking, since that's not the enemy action that triggering it...

They can still delay their turn and take their entire turn after their ally has moved into a flanking position and taken their turn.

Yup. Also the same reason Anime characters always shout the name of their martial attack.

True, but with a readied action, everybody gets flanking.

immediate reaction. It takes place after your enemy
completes the action that triggers it.
Where does it state that? All I see under the Immediate Reaction rules (PHB p.268) is:
"The triggering action, event, or condition occurs and is completely resolved before you take your reaction"
Edit: ah got it... you were quoting PHB p.291:
"Immediate Reaction: A readied action is an immediate reaction. It takes place after your enemy completes the action that triggers it."
I believe it was the writer's intent there to generally mention the Immediate Reaction rules, rather than override them and restrict it solely to enemy actions.
