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
) A6 v/ }1 N/ N1 X- N, I" \0 G4 q
The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
) J$ S. }/ X5 H5 y. H# A* {  _! Z
; _) H, j  W: |1 Z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?

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:

. Z5 v/ N( e: M0 _( SAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
8 `/ k& ]9 t* L+ qDoes it make sense?
: ]& ]5 g+ F) X7 [! |7 K% g; ~* pIt makes sense?（反问）
3 M% z) J+ h5 ZIs it  making sense?
That makes sense?( 反问)
' S& @/ a: Q- K* D+ W. |
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。

, Z  }! d' C0 C2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...

From this sentence, the meaning of dead lobster sounds like the key or the basic thing.
5 K' n: k. G. @# |0 o, _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.
