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; E, d# T! K7 g3 s
- H# O/ Y5 h9 b. `3 a: sThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
( x5 X" _. x% r  J
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?

' ~8 N/ n' p6 _% J6 c* xI 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:
5 e- o; ]& i8 d/ Y  s5 ~, I8 |, r
% N4 t; n& i) }Am I making sense?
( z2 t6 N8 }1 W1 ^# d( @Do I make sense?

It makes sense?（反问）
: L$ h( g6 h- Y% n% nIs it  making sense?
6 s) A" M( u; [/ e$ D0 u- {That 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。

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。

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.
