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
& }% g7 _* D% H* I% w, s3 G9 U
# E4 S+ S% ^# ?3 w2 A( _7 z: QThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

$ V4 X  t* A" G. x& d  }2 L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:
: A7 w4 Q6 k8 I
Am I making sense?
3 A; `: R3 W+ ^3 _# S% hDo I make sense?
2 y. V0 P% R, X/ |, r* h# V8 u) Y4 tDoes it make sense?

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

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...
% ?4 d  }: m. s7 |1 ]6 p' G5 o  i8 S( B
: L* n/ c3 N0 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.

You are right. I was just clerical error.
