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

- g  K6 H/ x% A( ^  Z+ XThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

: ~% o- {4 |6 H4 y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?
. n. v! W! L7 n) V
5 c* ~( k6 N+ |) eBy 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:
, f( d2 S) d  G0 l& t( H/ w/ v( B
" m3 X& ^. Z3 ~& w5 u; kAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
8 a$ J! L9 e) z% ^Does it make sense?
" n6 N" d+ O5 N% y% A/ F: lIt makes sense?（反问）
% d' j0 P! d3 S1 c& r0 D' B  XIs it  making sense?
8 q/ b) ^7 X8 ^% _* K; N1 v0 lThat makes sense?( 反问)

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。

, r* D0 C7 i1 Z( c2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...

. |/ {6 e1 l3 G! p3 D7 }) U! tFrom 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.
