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

% w; Y& j% R" B0 xThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

( L0 y9 J: n& \/ D1 ]( R. W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:
' _% z- N+ }8 [: }- N1 O
2 w$ q8 r, u' o4 d& ?9 u* {Am I making sense?
8 p7 H* H+ ~5 n. lDo I make sense?
Does it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
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。

2 }) z" l2 g8 e$ s/ o" \2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。

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