A spec nade takes place when a gamer throws a grenade at an "ally" then switched to the opposing team. The grenade's game attributes also switch, so it ends up killing the other gamer.

This happens a lot in the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare because it is not detected as a cheat by PunkBuster, but Admins will typically ban you if they notice. Also, other time-delayed weapons can be used such as claymores.
