heater
Cold weather appliance
A heater is a device that produces warmth, typically for indoor spaces during cold weather.
Space heaters warm single rooms while central heating systems warm entire buildings.
In baseball slang, a heater is a fastball thrown at high velocity: He blew a heater right past the batter.
Informally, heater can also mean a handgun, especially in older crime fiction and film noir contexts.
