Variety, type, kind. "DDT commandscome in two flavors." "These lights come in two flavors, bigred ones and small green ones." See vanilla.
2. The attribute that causes something to be flavourful.Usually used in the phrase "yields additional flavour". "Thisconvention yields additional flavor by allowing one to printtext either right-side-up or upside-down." See vanilla.
This usage was certainly reinforced by the terminology ofquantum 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) inthe LISP Machine Flavors system. Though the Flavorsdesign has been superseded (notably by the Common LISPCLOS facility), the term "flavor" is still used as a generalsynonym for "class" by some Lisp hackers.flavour
