Teo, to ask the question is to answer it: 'What's it mean?' means 'What does it mean?'

In informal (and even formal) speech, it is acceptable. I wouldn't write it, however, except as a quote from a character in a story. "does" is not technically included in our list of contractions, except with 'not' >

I agree with Philip, you can hear it, but it's not grammatically correct. " 's" is not an accepted contraction for "does".
