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
2 j9 k7 C8 J, d9 O
4 ]8 V; X/ M9 Y/ W: DThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

7 T4 U1 ~/ P  @  G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。

& Q0 s+ M6 k" @$ a4 J* O3 [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:

0 k/ Z# e2 x2 O9 D% AAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
& v" C+ u  w2 D, WDoes it make sense?
8 {8 j& y, C5 C( g9 AIt makes sense?（反问）

0 P/ E% u) b  Y5 k" @0 ?& NThat 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。

! \) ^" b6 l; M0 U  `, \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...

2 R4 t5 k! Q% N/ u- }3 ^. i, `' IFrom 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.
