Mode
Taken from electronic devices, which can operate in one or more 'modes' and thereby restrict their possible actions to a few options. Applied to humans, this usually is used as a suffix indicating 1. their normal thinking and reasoning abilities have been overridden by something they're 'hung up' on; or 2. their normal drives and ambitions have been replaced by a possibly irrational desire for some particular thing.
Example:
I tried talking to him about science, but he just went into Religious Wacko mode and started spouting scripture.
Watch out, those two are in geek mode.
No, I don't want a burger, I'm in burrito mode.
