What's that mean?

我经常听别人这么说，不光是中国人，洋人也这么说
7 {! E' r8 w  S
# K& t9 w3 I6 `那么这个 ’s 是不是应该是 does 呢？
3 }2 m0 K+ M  s
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 "
6 e. i5 o" `' N- ^1 x" [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
+ m* j6 |+ ~7 k6 M* H( G$ v" `+ 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

1 W3 g* Q9 T! E" d3 _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。
$ V$ y( O; E4 J5 R* y! y所以还应该是 What does that mean?
