"River rat" has been real river-town slang for generations — Merriam-Webster defines it simply as a riverman, or "one who spends his leisure time on or along a river." Along the Mississippi, the term grew out of the raftsmen and rivermen who worked the water long before baseball diamonds and little-league dugouts showed up on the riverbank, the same stretch of water Mark Twain made famous in his own river writing. These days it's a badge of honor for any kid who grew up with the river as their backyard.
