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
% q9 Q0 H7 R9 ^' V
The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
- L. @" t2 N$ A! n; e( D
$ n2 c/ v/ [9 O  Y: W$ b6 [1 J3 r3 T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?

3 h  {2 q9 P5 P2 `  S, I$ kI 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:
/ h4 `) L; d$ Y
2 {7 _( I* z1 {4 s9 q2 N$ OAm I making sense?
( G& F6 o7 b3 R# z+ b5 ]Do I make sense?
8 f0 }( g3 O$ m* }5 _$ E; j! qDoes it make sense?
" M! l' ~3 P' @# b9 w9 c! TIt makes sense?（反问）
Is it  making sense?
4 ]/ q% e7 w  Y5 {0 [That 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。

" {3 t7 t- N2 W  {: h: K$ h2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。

  ]1 [# T- O" E! z! cI 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.
