Like when you say, "that's not my m.o." what exactly are you saying? I heard it many times and I recently heard it in a song, "tricking ain't my m.o." was the lyric.

Modus Operandi. abbreviated: M.O
typically used to describe the typical pattern and/or mindset of an individual based solely off their handiwork and/or the type of arrangement and situation they leave behind after being in one place. Mode of Operation would indicate and describe the type of activity involved and the method used to carry it out. For instance:
A serial killer (yet to be caught or discovered) targets white suburban males inside or around the house. The weapon used differs from time to time, but it is always a fatal wound, and the killer dismembers the victim before killing him. There is never anything out of place at the scene, and usually no sign of forced entry.
It can be inferred that the killer is voyeuristic, and perhaps knows the lay of the land where he chooses his victim. The killers M.O. is ambushing the victim, dismemberment, and then brutally killing the victim. It can also be assumed that the killer probably has no motivation for killing these men other than the desire to kill, and that burglary is not a priority, just killing, as there is usually an abundance valuables on the property, none of them out of place or stolen.
In that song, the artist is attempting to give the message that he ain't tryin' to trick on nobody, that isn't how he works. I think I heard that song, and he's tryin to say he'll f*ck ya up, before he turns ya in.

Modus operandi (often used in the abbreviated form MO) is a Latin phrase, approximately translated as "mode of operation." The plural is modi operandi ("modes of operation"). It is used in police work to describe a criminal's characteristic patterns and style of work.-
The term is also commonly used in English in a non-criminal sense to describe someone's habits or manner of working, the method of operating or functioning.
