manner mode

When I first moved to Japan and got a mobile phone, the term "manner mode" (マナーモード) quite baffled me. To begin with I wasn't quite sure what the katakana stood for. Guess what it means!

It means silent mode, ie. mannerly :D When I first heard the katakana, all that would come to mind was manna as in "manna from heaven."
