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

那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？

The reply should be:
5 `8 d5 \  z& I0 c6 [; f- N/ [. j. ?"That means ..........."
- g' S8 o" m) y. aThen you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
What's it like?
* R4 u+ F) U3 {; t9 ]# UWhat'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
  D3 L5 O0 T# [! \1 P"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.

( P; C0 `7 a2 p7 z说这是英式口语的缩写，不知然否

either is or does.

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。
