It describes lines of a non-traditional opening that you can use when playing people that are more 'book trained' than you are, thus putting them 'out of book' early in the game and forcing them to think rather than playing out a sequence of memorized moves.

I have used it a few times already. I even got a snicker from one opponent. A couple of moves later he was down a pawn and behind in development.

I think it is called the 'B Formula' because it isn't the best opening you can do. It does not start with any of the traditional moves you would expect.
