Is there a word or expression whose pronunciation sounds like 'becha'?
While watching the American animated TV series, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, I often heard Mickey say something that sounds like "You betcha", which might mean "You got it", "You are right.", or "That's a good idea", depending on the context.
What's the word/expression that sounds like "betcha"?

'Betcha' or 'You betcha' is a shortened phonetic form of 'You bet your...'.
The full form of this would be something like 'You (can) bet your life (that it's true)'.
It's a colloquial response means 'Yes, that's absolutely right.'

From the Oxford Dictionary: Bet you (used to express confidence or certainty that something is the case or will happen or as a strongly positive response:
It's a contraction of "you bet" and it means:
1 - "Yes"
2 - "I agree"
3 - "It's true"
4 - "Yes, I will..."

I guess we use Betcha for "You bet" or "Are u sure"
