English term or phrase: drool mode
More smoke is generated during the DROOL MODE than during the mormal condition.
sule
mode excitation
Explanation:
Such as in a video game.

Excerpt from an article found with google: "A point and drool mode chooses all the modifications for the user, and a custom mode lets one choose which to implement."

Aside: "drool mode" is also an internet-discussion-emphasis signal used to portray ardent, sometimes lascivious desire while chatting (like ALL CAPS signifies shouting).


For example, if you like muscle cars, you might write: "<drool mode on> Black GTO 4.0 - mmmmmm ! <drool mode off>"

Some of the more frightening examples of this that I found on the web:

>>>Indeed, if her fan base doesn't mobilize, it may become embarassing. Though it's given me some
>>>interesting ideas >:)
>>
>>[Drool mode] Tell me they involve bikinis and
>Jello,
>>TELL ME THEY INVOLVE BIKINIS AND
>JELLOOOOO!!!!!
>>[\Drool mode]
>

<drool mode> aaarrRROOOOOO! *whistle whistle* </drool mode> Yes, I have a thing for german shepards.

And an explanation which is very graphic:
"You know, the mode where you're just sitting there, drool coming down your chin, looking like buffoon?"
