[5] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)

flavor n. 1. common variety, type, kind. "ddt commands come in two
   flavors." "these lights come in two flavors, big red ones and small
   green ones." "linux is a flavor of unix" see vanilla. 2. the attribute
   that causes something to be flavorful. usually used in the phrase
   "yields additional flavor". "this convention yields additional flavor by
   allowing one to print text either right-side-up or upside-down." see
   vanilla. this usage was certainly reinforced by the terminology of
   quantum chromodynamics, in which quarks the constituents of, e.g.,
   protons come in six flavors up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom and
   three colors red, blue, green -- however, hackish use of `flavor' at
   mit predated qcd. 3. the term for `class' in the object-oriented sense
   in the lisp machine flavors system. though the flavors design has been
   superseded notably by the common lisp clos facility, the term `flavor'
   is still used as a general synonym for `class' by some lisp hackers.
