Heat has several meanings as a word and one as an abriviation.
Heat as a slang term is commonly used to describe a weapon of some kind, usually a pistol. "You packing heat?"
Heat as in heat generated by an exothermic reaction is an increase in energy of particles causing them to move/vibrate more rapidly, in some materials this can cause electricity to flow more easily, for materials to melt then evaporate.
When an animal "goes into heat" they are at their most sexually active and reproductive time of the year, this would usually occur during the "mating season" of the particular animal.
As a military abrieviation, HEAT means High Explosive Anti Tank. This is a rocket or other explosive missile/shell designed to penetrate through a tracked vehicles armour before detonating it's explosive charge to disable/destroy the target. (For those of you wondering, there is such a thing as "low explosive")

Heat can be used a few different ways.
1. Used as a synonym for "gun"
2. To describe temperature.
3. To describe something that was intense. (Basically a synonym for "Intense" generally when the scenario is something that could get you in trouble.)

When an animal (humans included) is so horny and eager to mate, that they'll hump whoever comes along.
Some people think that only females experience this state, but male animals also have a reputation for being achingly randy.

"Great...! Just great! We forgot to neuter our cat, and now she's in heat! I can't stand the howling!"
"While in Frankfurt (appropriately), I once asked a German storekeeper for a 'heißer Hund'- literally 'a hot dog.' He burst out laughing, as 'heißer Hund' in German suggests a dog in heat." -Richard Lederer
