[Side note: "backatcha"? "Back at'cha"? Or might it even be "chya"? A lot of words that you wouldn't think there exist standard spellings for, there exist standard spellings for. For example, gonna, gotta, and ya (which do not have apostrophes at the end of them—where do people get that idea?) are in the damned dictionaries, even: the first two are "informal" and the last one is "nonstandard," but there they are. There's another example I was just thinking of but forgot...oh: well, y'all people sometimes spell as ya'll, which makes me very sad. But is there a standard "atcha"? I can't find one. (In fact, the one thing I'm pretty sure of is that people rarely if ever would write it the way I have. Fuck 'em.)]
