+ Q  I6 e  a: {0 B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。

According to your explaination, can I make a sentence like this: The reason that a boy shows excessive careness to a strange girl  is a dead lobster.
Is that make sense?

; ~9 n9 Q; v1 ^1 b6 C. a$ O- JBy 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:

Am I making sense?
Do I make sense?
Does it make sense?
5 d. T8 l& {" ^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。

( h8 u  c8 h$ ]* ]; h$ X- P9 QFrom 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.
