$ dict vanilla

  vanilla adj. [from the default flavor of ice cream in the U.S.]
  Ordinary {flavor}, standard. When used of food, very often does not mean
    that the food is flavored with vanilla extract! For example, `vanilla
    wonton soup' means ordinary wonton soup, as opposed to hot-and-sour
    wonton soup. Applied to hardware and software, as in "Vanilla Version 7
    Unix can't run on a vanilla 11/34." Also used to orthogonalize chip
    nomenclature; for instance, a 74V00 means what TI calls a 7400, as
    distinct from a 74LS00, etc. This word differs from {canonical} in that
    the latter means `default', whereas vanilla simply means `ordinary'. For
    example, when hackers go on a {great-wall}, hot-and-sour soup is the
    {canonical} soup to get (because that is what most of them usually
    order) even though it isn't the vanilla (wonton) soup.
