What up, Britches?

I just started reading aloud to the boys the book Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers by Ralph Moody.

Mike looked at the title and asked,

What if the "r" was missing?

My response was:

Both boys looked at their father.

To which King responded:

What about that time you kept saying to us 'What up, Bitches?'

Oh, yeah.
