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
; H) ^& }0 ~- Y$ t. w; w$ K: Z8 \* u
The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
0 a' w  t. u4 w# p& w# l
8 K" O/ p) N. t! s9 m, {. K0 s% e. Z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?

7 Z/ Y0 F& u/ F! }% eBy 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:

$ G' l9 ?4 }" Z, q+ Y, z' b$ j2 hAm I making sense?
8 w' |; E% [! y. {" K  @Do I make sense?
Does it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
9 o( p, i; c1 d3 t% FIs it  making sense?
, s, x5 O" q5 g% s$ HThat 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。

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。
