“Tǔcáo” (吐槽, lit. “[to] spit [into someone's] bowl”), derived from “chùchòu” (黜臭), is a Chinese buzzword that means “snark”, “quip”, or “roast”, but often gets likened to the Japanese term “tsukkomi” (突っ込み). Meanwhile, “dànmù” (弹幕, lit. “bullet screen”) just describes the barrage-style commentary that they borrow.

The website owners actually use “T Site” (T站), but the community uses “C Site” (C站) so it fits the pattern.
