A non-standard, phonetic contraction of "better not" used as a tag question. It occurs when a speaker treats the word "better" (from "had better") as a verb, adding the suffix "-n't" to it. Linguistically, it follows the pattern of "should/shouldn't" or "could/couldn't" by turning "better/bettern't" into the easier-to-say "betten."

It's getting late and we still have work to do. We better try to finish this now, betten we?

better red than dead

Play on words of "better dead than red", which means you'd rather die than be a communist.

Better red than dead implies that capitalism has gotten so bad and companies so greedy that you'd rather be communist (as there is ideally a minimum guaranteed food ration provided from the state for free) because otherwise you'll die from not being able to afford the highly inflated price of goods necessary for human life, such as food and water.

Hardcore American: What the fuck? You think we should just give food away for free and that healthcare should also be free? Better dead than red, you commie bastard.

Average American wage slave in 2050: *sigh* I have two jobs and work 100 hours a week and never get to spend time with my family and yet I still can barely afford to feed myself and my kids... Better red than dead, maybe those commies were onto something...
