Potentially stupid question:
Why is bitchat called BITchat? What is the bit? Why is it not eg GeoChat?

Probably cuz it spells out bitch maybe
I suspect that is very much on purpose, they knew it would be giving a lay up for easy jokes to spread the word.
Very much like twitter starting as twttr
geoch@? cmon that's stupid!
Yeah, it needs to be joke lay up-friendly to help with network effect
See: twttr
every product or service a bitcoiner makes must include one of the following: bit, block, chain, or coin
i don't make the rules that's just how it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I hope it's an homage to an old IRC client -- BitchX.
I guess the protocol might use geographically neutral binary encoding for the Bluetooth mesh, meaning, data encoded bit by bit instead of wasting data on code words and stuff
