what is the difference between, tail light, stop light and high mount tail light? The top row tail lights that has 3 bulbs in each side; is that the high mount tail light?

oh yes i did just bump this 3 year old thread 
feel kinda dumb asking a bulb question but i'm slightly confused.
I just got done clearing my 95 tails and there must be something wrong with my bulb sockets because i seem to be able to fit 1156's and 1157's in them, which i know i shouldn't be able too because the 57's have a higher notch on one side vs equal level on a 56, the thing is everyplace read calls for a 1157 for the brakelights, why would they use an 1157 if they only come off and on? wouldn't that normally be a 1156 function? i always thought 1157's where only used when dual filaments where needed.
kind of a pointless question i guess since all my lights are working, i guess just trying to verify that a dual filament bulb is used on are brakelights that serve not dual filament purpose?
or am i seeing info on 92 tails? i'd imagine they use a dual filament tail/brake lights
