Learn Chinese: 吐槽 [tu cao] To Ridicule one’s Secret

吐槽 tǔ cáo To ridicule/quip or disclose secret
别浮想联翩了，这不是“吐在水槽里”的意思！“吐槽”这个词来源于日本动漫的“突っ込み”，后来引进台湾时被音译为“吐槽”，简单来说，就是当对方说的话有漏洞，于是找一个突破点来拆穿他/她。有时候，网友们也会借吐槽某些事物来发出带着不满意味的感慨。苹果手机发布的新款产品就因为新增了色调夸张、代表巨额财富的香槟金色，因而被中国网友们吐槽是“土豪金”。

So forget what you think it is 吐=to vomit, 槽=a sink ,so 吐槽=to vomit in the Sink?
This term was developed from the word“突っ込み”in some of the Japanese cartoon
plays , which was transliterated as tǔ cáo later when this concept was introduced to
Taiwan ,Simply, it means when someone says something that has a loophole (in
its logic or grammar),then you can pick it as a penetration point to refute or expose
him/her. Sometimes people express their own feelings of dissatisfaction or upset
through such an act.
