Neologisms and sayings of The Simpsons, the wiki:
Dickety is Grandpa Simpson's made up word for twenty. This occurred in episode 3F19: "Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"."
- Abe: Now, my story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" 'cause the Kaiser had stolen our word "twenty". I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles…
Ahh. Even more hours of mindless procrastination.
Via, of all people, Pharyngula.
That's a highly cromulent list.
