For the record, this AT has been called a whole host of names including:
Dash Item Toss Cancelled Item Toss (DITCIT): The most accurate description of the AT I've heard so far.
Boost Toss: Most identifiable name for the technique.
Dash Attack Cancelled Item Toss (DACIT): A name used to convey the inputs are similar to a DACUS, but no dash attack actually happens in this technique.
Dash Grab Cancelled Item Toss (DGCIT): A name used to convey the inputs involve a press of the grab button followed by cancelling that action with an item toss, but no actual grab happens in this technique.
Bomb Sliding: A common name for the technique when used with Link.
Item toss in these names is occasionally substituted with glide toss in an attempt to better convey the large slide that's happening (though it has nothing to do with actual Brawl Glide Tosses).

Video demonstration of the technique:
Basic DITCIT Input:
Hold
, -simultaneously->
OR
With Tap Jump Off, Tap, -simultaneously->
OR
With A+B Smash on, Hold, Hold -very quickly->
If while trying to perform this technique, you perform a normal dash toss, your input of C-Stick Up or equivalent input was too late. If you perform a toss throwing your item up, your C-Stick Up or equivalent input was too soon.
With this technique, your character will slide forward a character dependent length in a neutral position while they toss their projectile upwards. Timing can vary from character to character; Pac Man and Links are relatively lenient while Mega Man's is more strict. Mii Swordfighter's timing feels distinctly different from the rest of the cast.

Dash Item Toss Cancelled Item Toss Lengths:
Huge:
Noticable:
Slight or No Distance increase from running:
Significantly Less Distance:
------------------------------
Condensed Rankings for Characters that can generate their own items:
Huge:
Noticeable:
Slight or No Distance increase from running:
------------------------------
Other Forms of DITCIT:
Fake Out DITCIT:
Hold, - near simultaneously->
OR
With Tap Jump Off, Tap, - near simultaneously->
OR
With A+B Smash on, Hold, Hold -quickly->
Delaying the press of the C-stick results in some characters throwing their item normally, but then performing the animation for a throw upwards. This looks to be character specific; the only ones I can confirm can do this so far include Link, Toon Link, Palutena, R.O.B., Jigglypuff, and Mii Swordfighter. If you have more you can add to the list, please post.
