   Vanilla, adj.:   
   	Ordinary flavor, standard.  See FLAVOR.  When used of food,   
   	very often does not mean that the food is flavored with vanilla   
   	extract!  For example, "vanilla-flavored won ton soup" (or simply   
   	"vanilla won ton soup") means ordinary won ton soup, as opposed to hot   
   	and sour won ton soup.
