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
% Y- r& `& ]1 c# y: x0 Q8 D
8 ]* z) m  o+ C' q  G2 h, LThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
% e; b3 t, O) T$ Q
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。

I think your sentence makes sense.But there are some little mistake around the sentence.Am I making sense?

9 U' ^5 |# V' n: ^6 fAm I making sense?

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

The dead lobster is how to attract end users...

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.
