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

; \: }3 k# U; C  y: q, d* {9 ]The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
" t0 r! g9 F" v! Q5 G* B1 ~
: ?# M2 x9 _# c0 r# V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。

Is that make making sense?

9 H6 L% ^' z( Y) L  b% D: iI think your sentence makes sense.But there are some little mistake around the sentence.Am I making sense?

By 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:
" Z8 l8 Y  z7 ^  y. B+ L' U
Am I making sense?
Do I make sense?
+ ]. N3 E+ z- R7 k& hDoes it make sense?
: X0 y, E# M: a6 H0 C: zIt makes sense?（反问）
Is it  making sense?
4 E2 Y  y2 I  R1 ]8 u; G; [/ X3 K3 {$ sThat makes sense?( 反问)

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

* H( O* t1 P8 d/ A$ A$ }. o4 z, i2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...
$ c. Z6 Z) @2 }) N
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.
