The word "tai otoshi" is a Japanese martial art term, which literally means to "body drop" someone.
The Japanese word "tai otoshi" or martial arts term is a judo throw, that is also classified as a hand technique, in which one practitioner or "torii" uses a combination of a strong pull and also a forward stepping motion to off balance their opponent "uke" and throw them over their own leg.
Basically in martial arts when someone performs a tai otoshi technique, the person throws another person by using their body as a fulcrum, destabilizing the person diagonally before dropping the person to the ground.
