1) n. In New England, it is a brass musical instument, conical in construction, about 18 feet long, with a large mouthpiece, and is the lowest of the brass instruments. It replaced the ophiclede in the symphony orchestra, and has nothing to do with Wagner Tubas. It has only one direct cousin in brass instruments, that being the fluglehorn, for all other brass instruments are more cylindrical than the tuber, even the french horn.
2) n. For the rest of the English-speaking world, it is a fleshy-rooted plant like a potato or a yam. Hence, New Englanders and Non-New Englanders can get confused at times, as evidenced below.

Tommy Tuberville 

Quite possibly the dumbest motherfucker to ever have a seat in the United States senate.

A former Auburn football coach (and an awful one at that) that ran for Senate in Alabama despite knowing absolutely fuck all about politics. He is incapable of identifying the three branches of government in the United States, doesn't even know the reason why the U.S. fought in World War II, and rejects the January 6th commission "until they make it bipartisan", despite the commission already being bipartisan.

Only voted in because Alabama voters only care whether or not a candidate has an 'R' after their name, as long as said candidate doesn't have credible pedophile accusations against them. (see Roy Moore)
Noteworthy Tommy Tuberville moments:

-Claims the Jan. 6th insurrection "should've never happened" and was not justified (which is true, but...), despite one of his first orders of business being to try to overturn the 2020 election results and being complicit prior to this statement.

-In an interview, stated “Our government wasn’t set up for one group to have all three branches of government — wasn’t set up that way. You know, the House, the Senate, and the executive.”

-Claims his father fought in World War II “liberating Paris from socialism and communism.”

As time goes on, there's bound to be more. Alabama deserves better than this, but sadly, not much can be done when voters are stupid enough to vote for people like Tuberville. To think an actual politician like Doug Jones was voted out in favor of this clown.
