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

5 l( i( O7 b2 c  Q* N# s' v. YThe dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

) ^5 o1 X; w5 O' j8 p% X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?

. G+ a5 V0 `2 cBy 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:

Do I make sense?

最常用的是Does it make sense?  It makes sense？ 很少听到其他几种用法。

( U- m, I/ A+ }7 G/ U2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.
( m$ W9 @2 r( F# b9 X! \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.
