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
- e2 }+ w2 E3 _8 A9 \* W  z! g0 P6 Q
0 \  j  o: b2 M, q7 XThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
3 s9 S4 ?1 H% v/ B6 p  Z
" L- X: w0 c" J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?

" P# B' r5 A, q- U& P- XI 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:

3 Y) f- L" q' _- a1 d' p5 x9 n% R8 ~Am I making sense?
! i$ n! J0 R6 B( h+ ?Do I make sense?
4 w3 ], i4 g! T# U/ }Does it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
Is it  making sense?
' K6 y* ]4 f* C/ q( Z, X1 Q, \% ^That makes sense?( 反问)
5 t' p) D' u, h! @5 Z# z
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。

) @$ b1 A- P/ y& e2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...

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.
