Vtoss is the speed at which you REALLY start enjoying yourself in helicopters.

And seriously, it's Take Off Safety Speed - the twin gurus out there will correct me if I get this wrong but it's the speed at which you can safely climb away after an engine failure, before that you're committed to landing back on.

And check out this Ray Prouty article for more info.
