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

+ a! a' k6 B- k( h4 t3 mThe 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。

Is that make making 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:
$ c) h+ n- ]% ]" x+ p0 i
* S/ S% L" l( }" k( I* @Am I making sense?
7 G8 O% P/ L3 z9 W8 _Do I make sense?
. {0 Y8 G* F! L4 V% nDoes it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
( C3 H$ Y5 Q4 J& u2 _: I. TIs it  making sense?
9 z8 l4 y( {* V5 X6 d, m1 Z! M! dThat makes sense?( 反问)

  X/ h, O$ P8 V9 v3 DIf 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。

4 f6 E: \: T' M' K6 i, Z' u2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...

1 r8 j6 r9 |1 ^9 p$ A6 rFrom 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.
