trebuchet [A trebuchet is a catapult. I woke up in the middle of the night with this word in my head. I knew it as the name of a font but did not know whether it was a real word, or at least a real word in English, until I had a chance to look it up today.]

Well, you really can't get from trebuchet to butchers because you change a letter and drop a letter. Nevertheless, it was a big chesed to get us back to 8 letters.
Anyway, from britches...
chitters (to chitter is to make a high-pitched sound like a bird.)
