betten

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 Than Big Boss

When something is subpar, but still acceptable. For example, a food that tastes good, but not nearly as good as people say.

Friend 1: Hey, did you end up going to that concert you were talking about?
Friend 2: It was better than Big Boss, but it sure as hell wasn't worth $350.

Van Bettie

Van Betty (fun betty) is the iconic Surname given to a totally awesome girl, that really knows how to have a good time. She has no insecurities, issues or baggage. She is almost one of the guys but is still also a girly girl. She is the type of girl that is as close to perfect as perfect can get, she may have some flaws, but in the larger scheme of things these are negligible. Similar to a panda girl, she is smart, funny and super cute. Van Betties are also somewhat of an "endangered species" as few of them actually exist.
Van Betties are hard to find and must not be confused with a Fake Van Betty who will pretend to be a Van Betty until she has her claws into a guy. A genuine Van Betty will never give her guy a hard time and will never pull up the handbrake! Van Betties are really into action sports, both as a spectator and as a participant.
Also see Betty hot chick

She is a real Van Bettie, she is always keen to do fun guy stuff and never has attitude, I think we should call her "insert her first name here" Van Betty
