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
+ e4 e% L+ S9 w  L% I9 X/ J' c- f
The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

5 G' q6 C* E  L: x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?
% Z: T/ P7 F# r7 A( e
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:
# D3 r/ C, ]. Q* {  I
Am I making sense?
Do I make sense?
& \) p% \( o, G# u  ODoes it make sense?
/ \7 F1 _8 _( t" D8 XIt makes sense?（反问）
0 h( u" P3 {; I, X+ O( @Is it  making sense?
That makes sense?( 反问)

最常用的是Does it make sense?  It makes sense？ 很少听到其他几种用法。
# B# t" n! v, Z7 o1 m" }
2 }2 P' {6 a0 W& ^( e, 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。

From this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
0 D- \; y# v# L9 K; D7 ^% vI 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.
