"Vanilla" refers to the original release of the game without expansion packs or mods (but with patches). It's used primarily to differentiate it from the Warlords expansion pack.

As in, 1.00, 1.09, 1.52. 1.61, and not 2.00 or 2.08 (and the soon to be 3.00) and no mods loaded. In the funny thread One More Turn Theater, the life of a civ3 Settler, Worker, and Scout, worker was talking about the Hebrew civ, and Settler said "There is no Hebrew civ. It's time for a Vanilla [reality] check."

No, because we can say: Vanilla, Warlords, and Beyond the Sword. The only use of the term "Vanilla" is saying "Original Civ4" because just "Civ4" is too broad and can mean Vanilla, Warlords, and Beyond the Sword. And besides, from what I heard, you don't need Warlords to install BTS.

I LIKE vanilla, it's better than chocolate. So I don't think it's plain
Your thinking is appropos, since Vanilla is indeed a powerful flavor, and there is nothing plain about it whatsoever. Of course, too many people are accustomed to imitation flavor vanilla (which is weak), and this, coupled with the inert vaccuuousness of western culture has led to this minor rhetorical transgression by the mental pygmies that are responsible for the genesis of net-lingo. All of which creates a situation which may be almost as annoying as this overly long, run-on post.
But, I'm not sure.
And its not my call, anyway.
