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

+ s) M& {# D( d6 I% q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:
+ G# L9 w! U' n& K3 a" N6 W9 ~. h"That means ..........."
Then you will understand " 这个 's  应该是 does "
% }6 q- `  A# ~, [  I3 ]把 does 省略成 's 不少见:
2 V8 P% y/ }* K1 d' k$ y- BWhat'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
& P: G5 M$ e" g! e5 D5 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.
