there is NO SUCH thing as Hot water heater!!
A system already producing hot water can be adjusted to make the water temp hotter, so in effect it is operating as a hot water heater.

This has proven to be a venerable thread, much like the ubiquitous 30-06.

How about the ubiquitous "DRT?" Isn't every creature that dies, DRT...even if it ran a quarter mile?

We were NOT talking about some 'possible' situation' were a WATER HEATER is used to heat water to a higher temp. Go to ANY business that sells water heaters and SEARCH to see IF you can find 1 labeled "Hot water heater". ALWAYS some ......... brings up some exception. SHEESH ! Jerry

I always understood the term DRT to mean "Dead Right There"...but dunno if I should apply that DRT term to the mature Texas WTail w/ 9" spikes I killed 6-7 year ago with a 9.3x62 & Speer 270's and was "moved airborne" out of his tracks and landed about 25-30 feet away "Over There".
And if the bullet moved the deer 25-30 feet away "Over There" then the rifle pushed you about the same "Back Yonder", give or take for the differences in weight and drag of the deer and your bod. Laws of physics as applied on Planet Earth.

Its not just a mere possibility or exception, water heaters by regular function make the inflow of cold water hotter and hotter till its reaches the temp. you have set. Your water heater like everyone elses is at some point in the process of heating hot water.

I suspect that "hot water heater" comes from people shortening "domestic hot water heater"... as in the heater that makes domestic hot water from the domestic cold water supply. These days, most homes have a stand alone water heater. Historically, however, it was common to have domestic hot water coil within the boiler used for space heating. It would make sense that when stand alone systems became available they were referred to as domestic hot water heaters because they were heaters replacing domestic hot water coils. It differentiates between the heater that heats space heating water (boiler) and the heater that heats domestic hot water (water heater). Sure, it makes more sense just to say boiler and water heater but a large portion of people can't seem to stop calling their boilers furnaces. A little more clarity doesn't seem to hurt. I call them water heaters but I certainly don't scoff at customers who want me to replace their "hot water heaters".
BTW, it's "its"... "It dropped in its tracks".

This has been a curiosity for me since I shot this deer in it's bed. At the shot the buck did a little hop, but did not fully extend it's legs. The buck died just outside of it's bed so it was not DRT, right? So would "In it's tracks" be the right application or is there some other description?  ![[Linked Image]](http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/jackpine44/deerinbed_zpsrpw0ia46.jpg)

I think the proper expression is likely "I killed him DEAD!"
Wonderful to see a band of brothers such as this pole vaulting over such huge mouse turds.
Guess I'll just get back to my "how I shot a deer out of my tree stand" story...

Hmmm D ROT aka Dead RightOverThere, doesn't sound too appealingly edible but is technically more accurate...whatever.

It's all about the blood trail. And penetration, especially on those raking shots in thick timber. Trick shooter, huh?
