The following Jerome Gambit game contains the kind of slip that happens in blitz or bullet.
The proper response for the first player - even if the move comes as a surprise - is one of gratitude.

If you are playing the Jerome Gambit, expecting 7...Qe7 or 7...d6, and you encounter this move, do not despair.
The move may come as a surprise, but it is a pleasant one. The Database has 72 examples, with White winning 78% of the time.
8.Qxh8
Black resigned
White is ahead the exchange and two pawns. If Black had planned to put his Bishop on f6 to protect his Rook (or attack the enemy Queen) it is already too late.
