Hey everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! Today, we will have a quick vocabulary lesson which will help you understand crime dramas and movies.
What's his M.O.?
M.O. stands for Modus Operandi which is Latin for way to work or in Japanese, 仕方 (しかた). It is usually used by the police when talking about criminals and what their patterns are. For example:
The arsonists M.O. is to burn warehouses late Friday nights.
Meaning that the person who likes to start fires and burn buildings down(arsonist) always sets warehouses on fire late at night and always on Fridays. It is his pattern, the way he works, hi modus operandi, his M.O.
Well, I hope you enjoyed today's mini-lesson and I hope to post something longer soon, have a fun week!
Phil
