Depends on the context.

1. Something is not good
A: "How's your dinner?"
B: "I've had better." (It's not very good)

2. Same as "should," but more like a warning.
"You had better go home." (You should go home)
"You'd better get out of here right now."

This is a rude, sometimes cruel way of saying something is not as good as something else you have tried.

Try my mother's food. I've had better.
Isn't my girlfriend pretty? I've had better. (sexual innuendo)

@Ale_Di I know that it can be used as an advice, like should and ought to, for example, but didn't know that it could be a way of saying bad things to someone as @ggoodrich50 and @literally8492 wrote. By the way, thank you for the answers, guys.

@Ale_Di, what I really wanted to know, is the complete meaning of the word in all of its contexts, got it?

I know now that it can be used for advice like:

You had better see a doctor.
You ought to see a doctor.
You should see a doctor.

and, like a rude answer, like:

What do you think about dinner?
— Well, I have had better!

But, It has been left me two doubts:

1. "Had better" as advice is stronger rather than "Ought to and Should"?

2. Is there any other meaning for "Had better"?

🤔

...cannot bite, then you had better not show your teeth 🦷

...se não podes morder, é melhor não mostrar os dentes. 🙊

Kkk

By the way @zGabriel, how do you call a person who has no teeth in Brazil? 😅

@Ale_Di lol, kkk, you had me laugh, a lot, now 😄 !

Well, there is one way to call it, but it's very and very rude to say and a bit funny

It's banguelo — For men
and banguela — For Women

Do you have some specific name for those people who don't got teeth? Or it is just called by no teeth?

😂 I think there is but I can't think of it right now. I'll get back to you when I remember lol

For Banguelo(a), do you pronounce the "u" or you don't?

Thank you

@Ale_Di Yes, We pronounce it, as the audio!

Would it be: "Baguette"?
