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
8 K' Z5 G; t3 ?% D! A. a0 |
The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

6 i& t' D" L& s" ?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。

I 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:
( w9 {" I6 _! c2 T$ Z
) N2 p" d3 x/ T9 X- k5 EAm I making sense?
: l& b2 M7 x. V9 QDo I make sense?
Does it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
Is it  making sense?
" X+ ^; o- a* x: f- h3 F; s* bThat 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。

9 a1 @6 Y- e# p- \7 C6 E* M2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.
