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
9 b) C, d9 F7 s# G! n  S
The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
  R$ T- v2 J3 C2 \- p2 C
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。

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:
. K$ G% U# b/ ?& S
+ w+ N2 j, d% ?1 W+ PAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
) O$ q- t4 E7 F" c+ g  |; l1 D' ?$ NDoes it make sense?

* [. g( _" s2 r; v7 dIs it  making sense?
8 D( ~1 p$ M3 o$ z/ h8 ZThat makes sense?( 反问)

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。

! B% d, X, e) W7 j9 B2 s2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...

8 m, |$ C* V7 G+ h1 P5 jFrom 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.

You are right. I was just clerical error.
