Having no knowledge of chess really at all, I'm like 60% sure all those words are made up and it's just a giant gag the chess community uses to confuse people. They must have some random chess generator that spits out random gibberish that sounds impressive.
Chess generators would never invent a name as glorious as "grob opening, double grob variation, Coca-Cola gambit".

Lol, there are just so many random variations of every opening that it's virtually impossible to know them all. It's sometimes helpful to see what an opening is called so that you can potentially look it up later, but 99% of the time I feel like Michael in the meme.
The variations are usually just named after whoever wrote a book about the move back in the 1850s or whatever. So in a way, yes, random name generator, often done a long time ago. The names were more useful back in Ye Olden Times when people didn’t consistently use the same sorts of chess notation. Now chess notation is standardized world wide.
The funny thing is this opening is actually very organic. Someone with even basic understanding of opening theory would very possibly play it if they learned the three moves required for the Ruy Lopez.
Something something Frenchman's Cumsock, and in approximately 37 moves I'll have won.
