More newbie questions (BAT?)

Hi-

Just so I feel more like a tuba player...

(1) Does "BAT" stand for "big tuba"? Or something else?
(2) I notice that some people describe their tubas as "bugles"- why is this?
(3) In the trombone world there is a big deal made of mouthpiece selection- many players have tried many mouthpieces- doesn't seem to be such an obsession for tuba players. Maybe Doug Elliott can answer this one?

Cheers-
