Premature Catchulation 

When an excited dog closes their mouth too soon when trying to catch a ball, causing the ball to bounce away off their nose
John- How's Sammy with the ball these days? Is she able to catch it?

Dave- Nah, gets so excited that when I throw the ball at her, she premature catchulates all over the place... She has a real bad case of premature catchulation.

Catholic catechism

A Catholic supplement to the Bible. Despite the fact that many Catholics (and Christians for that matter) rarely read the Bible, much less the catechism, BOTH books are incredibly important to understanding the Catholic faith.

It is analogous to reading the Tanakh, the Mishna, and the Talmud - which is what studious, ambitious, pious Jews do to develop their faith and be better Jews.

Similarly, reading and understanding the Bible AND the Catechism of the Catholic Church will strengthen the faith of Catholics.
All Catholics should be knowledgeable in three things: the Bible, the Catholic Catechism, and Sacred Tradition.

These three things will take us far.
No, it's not the tomato condiment that you put on your French fries but the express train you ride in the hope of catching the local train you just missed.
Fuck---just missed my 6 train at Brooklyn Bridge. I'll take the catchup to 14th Street---maybe I can pick up the 6 from there.

playing catchup 

When your friends have already had a drink, but you are just starting you are "playing catchup".

From the TV game show "Catchphrase", with the legendary Roy Walker.
Mate, you're late and playing catchup.

A slang word for 'catch you'.
Really, it is just 'catch u' but as one word, pronounced kinda like 'ketchup'.
It's not as common, but a family or a close friend group may use it.

Can also be used threateningly.
It makes a little more sense through text, since in person it almost sounds the exact same as 'catch ya'.
1: "Hey! Come back here, you thief!"
2: "Haha, later nerd!"
1: "God, just wait until I catchu."

3: "Alright bro, gotta go. Wife's been a little worried lately."
4: "Aight, I'll catchu later man. Have a good one."
3: "You too."
