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."
