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
( n8 }3 e6 H, Q6 o! m! p
( ]6 R% Z& o& h) J: m2 NThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

4 l' _& g5 O; T- w% E$ D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:
$ P/ D. s1 h& K, V3 a' d
Am I making sense?
Do I make sense?
Does it make sense?
) s! l; c; s" G6 Y" K; XIt 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。
' Y: F- i$ m& o( c
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。

  @# |/ E; ^; eFrom 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.
