heartbroke2

前一阵公司开会，大家热烈讨论。有个词是dead lobster. 比说

The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
) `  k0 m. {% N, \
( @2 a( }  E8 P! p+ N6 r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。

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:
; X# a3 W. @, B
Am I making sense?
2 j8 L* h1 H, y7 s1 W: B9 @0 ODo I make sense?

最常用的是Does it make sense?  It makes sense？ 很少听到其他几种用法。

, y6 ^* M* H  N5 p1 Z' a9 ]8 Q2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。

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.
