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
1 [+ }- i9 O2 e6 A* i
& `5 ^# u. T1 l5 jThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
: o! t4 {9 h, P) V
1 Z+ T* }% g, F, {+ J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。

According to your explaination, can I make a sentence like this: The reason that a boy shows excessive careness to a strange girl  is a dead lobster.
Is that make sense?

I think your sentence makes sense.But there are some little mistake around the sentence.Am I making sense?

/ y: f( L. U5 a, ~2 |5 ^2 }/ GBy the way, I often hear people use the phrase "make sense"; so I am wondering how to use them. There are some ways to use the phrase:
7 E2 U/ b! C! U; K- C
0 F) O( W* G' }* r5 ZAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
Does it make sense?
3 }! N  X. v* l, P. Z& Q% U- jIt makes sense?（反问）
Is it  making sense?
, Q1 Q9 j7 E: lThat makes sense?( 反问)

$ y- S: H+ B. k+ |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。

; u( t; n2 R1 J2 m2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...

From this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
I 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.
