TL;DR definition:
A game where you
level up character(s), usually gain experience points
have stats
gain items that go in an inventory
Usually fight other characters
Usually uses a text based system but not always
It also usually works just like how a tabletop RPG does but in a videogame.
What it's NOT:
Just a game where there's a character that has a role you play, there's a large amount of other games that have that description and aren't RPGs.
A game that has a typically fantasy environment, those are just what a lot of RPGs have, but it doesn't define what an RPG is. An RPG could be about food, dogs,markets, etc.
Two examples of RPGs are Undertale and Pokemon.

The act of going to someone's house, picking up any object you see, presenting it in some fashion(wether through a small dance or holding it in the air) and hiding it on your person.

A recreational activity where you get to pretend dat you're launching shoulder-fired rockets at assorted targets.
Anytime I get so mad dat I wanna go knock someone's block off, I indulge in a fantasy RPG game for half an hour, and secretly visualize da game's enemy targets dat go up in huge fireballs as being da people I'm mad at; this helps me calm down like nobody's business.
