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
, G$ A8 _5 v6 b% e! T1 g, Z
那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？
  k. i% O, H. a+ }: }) \
但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:
: A9 U. x8 Z! E"That means ..........."
2 J' e" o' [3 C) n( v$ QThen you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
" i& j9 x2 o# d. `& X: r# C+ }* ^; ^把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
What's it 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
# ~3 ?1 G0 B; o  r3 i/ n"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?

. Z, [: L/ A0 \& o- t! R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?
