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？

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 "
把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
# w+ V4 J* z9 e+ W5 rWhat's it like?
" N% O! ]. t! F$ Q, iWhat'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！

What's

1. contraction of what is or what has: What's the matter? What's been done?  
2. contraction of what does: What's she do for a living?

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
! ~. G& Q* M; ~4 E( X" m"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

either is or does.

what does that mean?

$ i1 m6 H# r( }$ C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?
