Straight from the capsaicink. |

//<rimshot>// Yeah, that's one place you wouldn't
want this pepper water to get. |
|
| |
It quits ringing quite quickly... |
|

This is baked. And by "baked", I mean "such a
profoundly terrible idea that no sane person would
even consider trying it". |

//often heated their water with a hot water heater. |
|

deja vue alert..surely that's a cold water heater? No point in warning water that is already warm. |
|
| |
Put menthol in the water, like what Withnail uses in the film, tad easier on the delicate bits than pepper |
|
| |
Would spicy water work as well as hot water for washing grease off dishes and getting dirt out of clothes? |

[morrison (or not)] Are "hot water heaters" a pet pieve of yours? I see no problem at all with calling it a "hot water heater". There are many names and phrases in common English that use shortcuts like this. A "hot water heater" is a heater that produces hot water. Calling it a cold water heater is incorrect because it will make hot water out of hot, warm, tepid, cold or frigid water. Calling it a water heater is fine in many cases since a hot water heater is probably the most common type, but adding just 3 letters and a space tells the reader (or search engine) that it's not a fish tank or swimming pool water heater that you're talking about. |
|
| |
I can think of many other cases with this type of usage. |
|
| |
Tie a knot.
waffle iron
Drill a well.
Pour a foundation.
Carve a statue.
cookie cutter
hole punch

English is not a programming language. It's called a hot water heater in common usage, so don't confuse things by convincing half of the people to change the common name of something based on some semantic agrument. |
|
| |
I think only you call it a hot water heater, scad. You and rcarty. Forward thinkers call it a hweater, to save wear on the space bar. |
|
| |
It's actually called an immersion heater. Go figure. |
|
| |
Insane is like inflammable right? If inflammable means flammable then I'm most assuredly sane. |
|
| |
Not to mention continent. |
|
| |
I terpret.
I terpret well. |
|
| |
Your reasoning is (in)disputable. |
|
| |
Technically it also heats hot water to keep it from cooling. |
|
| |
//make hot water out of hot..water |
|
| |
Good lord, that's miraculous... |
|
| |
Rigorous and methodologically sound research (just typing the words in google) brings a mixed result... |

15,200,000 - water heater,
53,700,000 - hot water heater
14,700,000 - cold water heater |
|
| |
but, if we try Yahoo it's
131,000,000 - water heater,
101,000,000 - cold water heater,
86,000,000 - hot water heater |
|
| |
so this is even stranger than I thought it was going to be... |
|
| |
Heat, light but no smoke? |
|
| |
Perhaps it should be parsed as “hot (water heater)” |
|
| |
...why not just a //water hotter//? |
|
| |
I guess, I can't use this water to warm up my hands or fingers after returning from skiing or cold environment. |
|
| |
You probably could but I wouldn't rub my eyes or pick
my nose afterward. |
|
| |
// Heat, light but no smoke? // |
|
| |
Smoke and mirrors, seemingly… |
|
| |
"E Tenebris Lux", perhaps ? |
|
| |
"Ee bah gum"was always good enough in my days |
|
| |
//I wouldn't rub my eyes or pick my nose afterward |
|
| |
A friend went to the loo, after chopping chillies, but hadn't washed her hands...it might be a similar experience... |
|
| |
//I wouldn't rub my eyes or pick my nose afterward.// |
|
| |
I'd gladly rub your eyes after using this water, [Ubbs]. |
|
| |
If her fingers made direct contact with her the
mucous tissue of her genitalia or her sensitive anal
tissue when she went to the toilet then I probably
wouldn't want to eat the food she was preparing
when she got the chili juice on them. |
|

I was too much of a gentleman to ask... |
