See central air.
A heat pump is just like a central air-conditioner when running in COOL mode. However, during the winter months or when it is cold outside, a heat pump has a component called a reversing valve that allows it to reverse the flow of refrigerant. Instead of removing the heat and humidity from the structure and subsequently cooling it as a result, a heat pump extracts ambient heat from the outside air and moves it into the structure. There is heat in the air right down to absolute zero. However, once it gets below freezing, even the newest, most efficient, top-of-the-line heat pumps tend to struggle in terms of heating performance without some sort of backup heat.
In areas where it is almost always warm, like many parts of Florida, a heat pump with no backup heat (gas, oil, electric) is just fine. However, the farther North you go, the more likely you are to need backup heat. Electric strip heat is little more than oversized toaster coils with a fan that blows over them to circulate the heat through the building's ductwork. This will work anywhere in the country, but the farther North you go, the more expensive it is going to be to run it. In parts of the country with really cold winter climates, a heat pump matched up with a gas or oil furnace, or even a hot water boiler, is a very efficient choice, possibly even more efficient than a straight-cool central air-conditioner matched up with a furnace. This is called a hybrid or dual-fuel system.

Those new tract homes in Florida have those efficient heat pumps instead of regular electric heat.

Get the Shit pump mug.Essentially, Pumping and Dumping refers to chopping and screwing a dubstep song. Much like Dj-Screw chopped dirty south bangers, pumping and dumping lowers the pitch and tempo of the song, and emphasizes the LFO wobbles. It actually resembles Purple more than dubstep. And there is more chopping, to the point where only the skeletal structure of the song is faintly present. This began Sept 22, 2011 and was created by B-Pride.
Yo! You hear that new Caspa joint!? B-Pride pumped and dumped the shit out of that track, that filthy felon!

Get the Pumpkin Spice mug.Anal sex where the male spreads open his partner's buttocks and inserts his penis inside as deep as it can go. He then thrusts repetitively or "pumps" until ejaculation. Upon said ejaculation, the receiver will clench his or her butthole, preventing the semen from being released. The fun does not end there because round two must be initiated virtually, immediately afterwards. The process is repeated, although when the receiver's butthole is spread, it is the sole responsibility of the pumper to let as little semen escape as possible as he dives in for this round. The pumping begins again and if done correctly, the excess friction combined with the reservoir of semen accumulated from the first ejaculation will yield a small, yet apparent amount of gas that is leaked from the process. After ejaculation for the second time, the pumper will claim his reward as he kneels over to open his partner's butthole as well as his own mouth. He then begins to feast upon the semen saved up in his partner's butt. This hot and steamy surprise is just enough to satisfy the hard work and dedication put into this process.
After a few monotonous nights of anal sex, Ken and Bridget decided to mix up their sex lives by trying the Gas Pumper. Bridget was in awe knowing that Ken had enjoyed the semen she had harbored in her butt for him.
