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

The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

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?

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 I4 o5 F7 s1 z$ M
3 k' }3 V+ j, W  N; K6 XAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
5 X! ?: x4 q2 q8 C0 g1 a& W$ MDoes it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
7 D1 Q  T8 E6 |1 |; _Is it  making sense?
& b3 e* H! j% a& Z1 Y! zThat makes sense?( 反问)

: M0 m) f) j4 c7 V& M2 hIf 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。

$ S$ p! _5 U/ j* l- V/ S' d. x2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...

You are right. I was just clerical error.
