死龙虾 dead lobster

heartbroke2

前一阵公司开会，大家热烈讨论。有个词是dead lobster. 比说

4 E* u7 C3 R5 |  qThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
+ c* p3 l% d1 F
$ ^/ c. V% W& N' q5 d0 ?" G- T" @真是莫名其妙啊！问了一下，解释说：你假如把一个死龙虾往屋里一扔，人人都会看到。所以dead lobster意思是显而易见的东西。我问为何不用live lobster或者dead crab呢？回答是因为第一个人这么用了，所以大家也就这么用了。

Am I making sense?
7 e2 k0 \& R# a$ MDo I make sense?
8 U: l, t  @+ SDoes it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）

If there 's  anything wrong, please correct it.I would appreciate it very much.

最常用的是Does it make sense?  It makes sense？ 很少听到其他几种用法。

2楼的那句，我和Heartbroke2 问了一下老外，老外说觉得这么用很怪，但也不知道该怎么改。有的老外还说，Dead Lobster也不完全是“显而易见“ 的意思。这词我们还是不用了吧，搞不清楚。

The dead lobster is how to attract end users...

0 c8 P* V4 J5 R5 M# zFrom this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
0 @0 N# Y% U. h5 K  UI never heard this before, maybe Oliveoil knew about it.  We couldn't give it up until we really aware of this slang.  Anyway, I will check it out.
