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
$ i1 [3 D5 ^( d9 o6 X! m3 F
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。

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:

1 z7 @' p% m; TAm I making sense?
1 x; b4 ]& r% P/ j! a$ TDo I make sense?
Does it make sense?
4 v8 T! S+ ?1 @' E! ]- ?It makes sense?（反问）
" |7 ~  h* D) w  q) Y, u( E9 oIs it  making sense?
$ e+ H; L' h5 a1 `0 n' ~1 eThat makes sense?( 反问)
- z. w7 N- U0 p2 `' v! F1 c% Z
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。

# h" ^, b6 {7 e: Y5 J1 E3 f2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.
( c7 G3 p9 x% O$ T/ q3 T6 \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.
