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."
