Hi - not all of us use American English - I at least use real English :)

Flavours are the different variants of Ubuntu - such as Xubuntu, 
Kubuntu, Lubuntu etc http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/derivatives

The testcases are the tests that we run - there are quite a few of them, 
some are general ones - for instance a test for the liveiso is common to 
all flavours.

Others are more specific - Xubuntu has a post installation testcase that 
only we use.

If you think you'll get frustrated then perhaps check the various 
activities we do - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Activities

You can ask people questions in real time at 
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-quality

But it is real time - so it might be some time before people answer you.
