What's that mean?

雲吞

我经常听别人这么说，不光是中国人，洋人也这么说
+ y: w( V. }8 H% X+ ^6 s) l7 L
3 u, {9 C9 U5 f, C* Y" a那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？

3 Z9 q4 L7 ]( ?/ [4 z但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:
"That means ..........."
Then you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
- u5 P5 F+ Q& {! D. j& C把 does 省略成 's 不少见:

为什么是does?我怎么觉得那个该是is阿，mean可以理解成名词！如果理解成动词，does就不该缩写成那样！

跟同事讨论了一下，也许是what is it means to be? 把后面的to be省掉了？不过也有老外同事说就是what does的缩写。

学习了
+ x5 N; Z+ Z" y+ d7 T+ ]2 z5 d"What's" for "what does" is moderately common in spoken informal BrE, but not all speakers would use it. You would be more likely to hear it in a non-standard variety of British English, for instance.

说这是英式口语的缩写，不知然否

3 S2 X7 A7 b* v3 L那可不是随便理解的事。mean做名词的时候只有中值的意思，意思的名词应该是meaning。
9 `9 B# F# m6 @4 V6 K6 b所以还应该是 What does that mean?
