You probably already play it without calling it that.
eg what would you bid over 1NT with and very few points?

I suspect 2C, and pass any bid opener made on the first hand and pass 2M on the second or bid 2H over 2D.
Thats Garbage Stayman.

Nope I would just pass, I thought after SoTired response that there was more to Garbage Stayman than this.
