heartbroke2

前一阵公司开会，大家热烈讨论。有个词是dead lobster. 比说

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。

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:
3 o; M. z# _2 u/ K
% |0 u: K  Z$ w/ {/ g4 r. {0 @Am I making sense?
Do I make sense?
0 S4 W, b" s9 C+ \# C# @  C$ o' YDoes it make sense?
5 v8 O1 K/ N5 ]It makes sense?（反问）
+ C3 W! e6 B. BIs it  making sense?
That 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。

! T! b  Z' b7 g' ?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...

From this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
. i/ [& }( c6 L. V" qI 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.
