flavour          (US: flavor) 1. Variety, type, kind.   "DDT commands       come in two flavors."   "These lights come in two flavors, big       red ones and small green ones."   See {vanilla}.          2. The attribute that causes something to be {flavourful}.       Usually used in the phrase "yields additional flavour".   "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 colours (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   Though the Flavors       design has been superseded (notably by the {Common LISP}       {CLOS} facility), the term "flavor" is still used as a general       synonym for "class" by some {Lisp} hackers.          (1994-11-01)
