I had no idea this was a thing.

Edit: maybe it's not so bad - 6...Bc5 and if 7.Qd5 then Qe7.

6. 0-0 is an old line for white that leads to a Goring Gambit type game.
Your line is very similar to a line known locally as the Art W. attack. 1.e4...e5 2. NF3...Nc6 3. d4...exd4 4. Bc4... Be6 5. c3... dxc3? 6. Qd5!

In that last line given by ChessP.
Many players on here and OTB have resigned after 6.Qd5 Nh6 and 7.Bxh6
Game 9109581 is just one example.
However things are not that clear. White has to give the piece back.
here are the next 4 moves from Game 8256662
