👉 Okay, let’s tackle this wonderfully prickly beast of a word – the absolutely bonkers designation affectionately termed, and rather dramatically, as:
The RV Stickleback. 1. (Seriously! It's actually a thing, albeit a very specific and slightly alarming one within the recreational vehicle community.) 2. A chronically grumpy, aggressively territorial, and frankly, rather judgmental small goby of a freshwater goby—specifically the Baltic sticklechof, Blecks gilnelsis . 3. Within that already somewhat unfortunate mouthful of a fish, there exists, in roughly 10% to 15% (nobody quite knows exactly how much, honestly! Estimates vary wildly and with the fluctuating whims of veteran RV junkies), a pale, almost ghostly individual sticklechof. This… specimen... instinctively guards its little patch of submerged gravel, and will attack, repeatedly, with frankly terrifying speed and a mouthful of needle-like teeth, anything that even glances within a three-foot radius. 4. It’s essentially the municipal parking attendant for the bottom of a rural, somewhat stagnant, freshwater pond. Now, why is this thing nicknamed the RV Stickleback? Because veterans in the overland community have noticed, time and again, that they'll be meticulously positioning their behemoths alongside a small, seemingly unremarkable body of water—maybe looking for a quick dip, maybe just a pretty picture—and invariably, a tiny, white blur will erupt
