Etymologically, the entry records: From you ain't heard nothing yet, a phrase originally popularized by Al Jolson. Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is you ain't seen nothing yet, spelled Y-O-U- -A-I-N-'-T- -S-E-E-N- -N-O-T-H-I-N-G- -Y-E-T, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
