Rickyisms is the term devised by the fans of Trailer Park Boys for Ricky's malapropisms. They are often used due to poor education, extensive drug and alcohol use, and situations where he may not be thinking clearly. Bubbles will sometimes point out to Ricky if he has used a word, or a saying that is either incorrect, or does not exist. This can also apply to words that Ricky may simply mispronounce, again through poor education, drug use, or a simple misunderstanding in the pronunciation of a word.
