: X8 f7 M0 f  @) o/ X3 p9 Q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?

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:

Am I making sense?
Do I make sense?
. T& b8 m& D4 \+ w7 lDoes it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
Is it  making sense?
0 L: [2 B7 D5 g4 A/ g0 {0 yThat makes sense?( 反问)
. U/ o* ~. [  x; H# ]( i0 \
' h5 y0 C2 x0 oIf 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。
