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
. e+ H  P/ X" h% `7 @8 g9 e: }
( o3 i- T5 e# H6 H  c0 R/ LThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

' r0 {2 m* S8 W& W3 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。

Is that make making sense?

I think your sentence makes sense.But there are some little mistake around the sentence.Am I making sense?
: W; [/ U7 }+ ?; I$ I, f
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:
* ?) j# V6 y/ v6 R" G4 r
, s5 e" |4 b7 u, x, K, eAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
$ ]0 D. ^$ s9 @Does it make sense?
It 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。

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...

& Z8 B1 v. |3 Z$ y; Y& q9 `From 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.
