I appreciate the irenic tone of your post.

Can you explain in

while showering under geezer heated water

the meaning of geezer?

I am not a young person, and therefore to some am a geezer, but I typically rely on water heaters, ranges and microwaves to heat water, hence my question.

Thank you in advance.

I appreciate the new word you have provided for my vocabulary - being of Irish decent & having spent eight years serving in the Strategic Air Command where peace was our profession, I find it particularly pleasing: i·ren·ic īˈrenik,īˈrē-/ adjective formal adjective: irenic; adjective: eirenic 1. aiming or aimed at peace. noun noun: irenics; noun: eirenics; noun: irenic; noun: eirenic 1. a part of Christian theology concerned with reconciling different denominations and sects. "Geezer" is what the Brits (and therefore people of India) call the electric - (on demand somewhat) water heaters. It is the only device I know of that works when you turn it off (i.e., twist the handle to turn off the water to the device before you start using). It, I believe, is called a "geezer" due to the loud sounds it makes as the steam escapes into the ether. Maybe a corruption of geyser? I don't believe it has to do with old folks. I don't know the etymology for the use of the same word for identifying old folks - it is a cute term for us maturing fogies, though, isn't it?.
