ricket

verb

1. To move rapidly and uncertainly, often in a noisy, clamorous, or reckless manner.

   transitive

   As it stands now, Earth's own structure must go ricketing down in the near future, the Outer Worlds will slowly degenerate and decay in a somewhat further future, but the new colonies will be a new and healthy strain, combining the best of both cultures.

Where it comes from

Uncertain. Perhaps an alteration of racket, influenced by Etymology 1 above, or perhaps related to Norwegian Nynorsk rikta (“to make a noise, creak”).
