MO is 'modus operandi' - Latin for "method of operation"

modus operandi (m.o.)
The way someone does something; a characteristic method:
“Her modus operandi in buying a new car always included a month of research.”
This phrase, often abbreviated “m.o.,” is used by police to describe a criminal's characteristic way of committing a crime.
From Latin, meaning “method of operation.”

M.O. is short for modus operandi, a Latin phrase meaning 'mode of operating.' If it's not their M.O., it isn't the way they do things.

M.O. stands for "modus operandi" in latin. The saying, "It's not their M.O.," means it's not their way of doing things.

No, no no, what it refers to is a person with a moustache adamantly denying that they are a messy eater.
With this retort they are simply asserting that the food residue you accuse they of possessing is definitely not apparent in their facial hair.
