Savor or Savour - (n.) or (v.)

When brainstorming the name of this blog, I debated which spelling to use. In the end, the aesthetics of the word "savoring" won over "savouring." What a great word to represent so many future different topics! You might see these definitions again later:

n
1. the quality in a substance that is perceived by the sense of taste or smell
2. a specific taste or smell the savour of lime
3. a slight but distinctive quality or trace
4. the power to excite interest the savour of wit has been lost
5. Archaic reputation
vb
1. (intr; often foll by of) to possess the taste or smell (of)
2. (intr; often foll by of) to have a suggestion (of)
3. (Cookery) (tr) to give a taste to; season
4. (tr) to taste or smell, esp appreciatively
5. (tr) to relish or enjoy
