heartbroke2

前一阵公司开会，大家热烈讨论。有个词是dead lobster. 比说

The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
% o0 E9 C$ |2 ]/ V
  w% M6 J' y& X; y( n/ f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?

* g; \1 l1 H, z+ a0 f9 H; RI 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:

: @6 N6 n  T" F  r" CAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
% y& L. ^8 t% s7 `9 yDoes it make sense?
, R- i) g$ o5 OIt makes sense?（反问）
: t3 y: M8 M, u0 [Is it  making sense?
( ~9 ^' @+ R" n; V, G$ {9 _That makes sense?( 反问)
, t" s& J8 b$ V5 W" }% 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。

2 P( B) U* N; X2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.
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.
