Probably 1.e4 d5 2.Nf3 dxe4 3.Ng5 Nf6 4.d3 with the idea exd3 5.Bxd3 h6?? 6.Nxf7 Kxf7 7.Bg6+ winning the queen on d8.
I have never heard a chess opening that was an acronym before.
And it's by far the dumbest name imaginable, maybe that's why they're uncommon.
The official name of the opening you are referring to is the Scandinavian Defense: Tennison Gambit.
That gambit is terrible on all levels though, don't use it against the Scandinavian. If you want to gambit against the Scandinavian, use the Leonhardt Gambit. If you want to win a queen, it's the Caro-Kann you're looking for.
