Default Just What is a Bitmap?

When someone says "use a jpeg bitmap", what do they mean?

Googling for how to create a jpeg bitmap says it's pretty much anything

Microsoft thinks a jpeg bitmap is something specific

Artists maybe create jpeg bitmaps by hand?

Programmers maybe create jpeg bitmaps from text files?

Diehards even seem to be using hex editors to make jpeg bitmaps

I'm not asking about bmp file format but about bitmaps in jpeg format.
What is a bitmap jpeg file anyways?
