Get the better mug.
adj. An improper way of saying that something has improved but not by much.

It's basically like saying: Something has improved, but not enough to say that it's 'better'

Note: An emphasis (italics) is usually placed on the last "er" to make clear the lack of substantial improvement.
Examples:

1)
Child: How do you feel I'm doing with my sparring?
Karate Instructor: It's ... better'er' - you still got some work to do.

2)
Person 1: How are you doing in school?
Person 2: I'm doing betterer ... I'm still getting some Cs though.
