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
) n, H- s# Y0 X1 H5 b( k) h: {
. n3 }( U; @* I( p那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？
( f- @4 B, Y. l3 K2 L$ ?* F
但似乎把 does 省略成 ’s 比较少见

The reply should be:
4 `) A( q0 g# N7 O, S6 I"That means ..........."
Then you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
What's it like?
& y, Q9 ~, O- b" Q9 }$ [3 w4 S: NWhat'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
6 B1 `% ~% S: |* r, c+ b/ |* b"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.

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。
