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+ c8 ]) w- G; x9 S0 G! [
The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
; u/ L+ V. T7 G4 o- a1 g6 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。

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:
6 ^3 {3 u7 W- @2 N# ?
Am I making sense?
5 S9 @0 P) G; i) w, E3 \Do I make sense?
' i7 A2 B+ Q3 i5 ~4 C7 q: z* FDoes it make sense?

' k. O# i" e  ^; u' \5 ]- lIf 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。

. t0 m+ d* E3 r. f2 O- a  O2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.
- ]5 [5 q6 Z) D8 B/ j# M# O8 h2 V+ {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.
