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

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:
3 ~+ e# u: i! c1 k2 g6 F# }
Am I making sense?
9 X5 p5 |! W: n4 cDo I make sense?
) f& h6 t2 a0 x1 u. nDoes it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
" A( K  B, t" Y4 E0 P, uIs it  making sense?
- q# K0 f5 q3 ^2 v6 RThat 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。

8 w  W/ _! F$ c( yFrom this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
