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
; I  o" T: v, l& q! \8 M
那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？
! B. K; D* p/ ?$ w+ T3 O( M
但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:
. E# `& @: V) b) ^"That means ..........."
Then you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
7 C2 @* Y5 T* s) ?; ?' kWhat's it like?
  A/ V% E; n' LWhat's he eat?
What's she look like?

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
* _2 [. k7 v; f"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

what does that mean?

6 P2 |3 |' U6 |' D1 ~. D* z+ Q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。
所以还应该是 What does that mean?
