Here are some possible scenarios:
* You're thinking of "tain't," which is a slang contraction of "it ain't" and is considered non-standard English.
* You're thinking of a word with a similar pronunciation but different spelling, such as "tain" (which might be slang for "take" or "gain").
* It's a misspelling of another word entirely.
Could you provide more context or information about where you encountered this spelling? This will help me determine the correct spelling.
