     This usage was certainly reinforced by the terminology 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     design has been superseded (notably by the Common LISP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.
