Wonder how the term Vanilla ever got used to express something that is plain.

Well, I guess as stated, it means Basic... but, here's a couple definitions from the Urban Dictionary for ya:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vanilla

vanilla = Unexciting, normal, conventional, boring.

vanilla = The opposite of kinky. Not in any way involved with BDSM.

Vanilla = normal and boring sex.

Vanilla = Preferring an activity or thing in its basic and unmodified state. Refers to vanilla ice cream. Used when expressing a preference for having something the traditional way.

He's saying he doesn't understand how an original and definitive flavor got tagged as boring and derivative...

I would kinda figure that it's more a slang use for the word. Kinda like a s***ty defense is a bad one, a Vanilla defense is a plain or basic one. Or a a Swiss Cheese defense just has holes.

It could be the American fixation of food placed into everyday use as they hunger for things?

I tried... But that's me not doing any real research on it.

Oh well.

Moving on.
