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
% ?- f5 U. g$ A2 b4 B+ {  D
The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

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。

According to your explaination, can I make a sentence like this: The reason that a boy shows excessive careness to a strange girl  is a dead lobster.
Is that make sense?

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:
& D! Y. @0 j+ e; B' ]
, b. l- m6 [* ?1 r) R, l" `* A$ \Am I making sense?
( `  @2 l+ ]( z4 ?# KDo I make sense?
Does it make sense?
% A; e2 g' q* j9 ZIt makes sense?（反问）
  K6 Z% a3 K- W7 f9 R. VIs it  making sense?
That makes sense?( 反问)
; s1 z7 n/ @1 }% K: P) Y8 s
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。

; v+ H% N2 p# o0 K2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。

! v6 `/ Q% R: V9 ~" fFrom 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.
