I believe it means "frappuccino", which is a type of frozen coffee.
Yes, I grew up near Seattle...land of coffee. Although I don't drink coffee, I once worked as a barristo.

And what ever happened to using whole words?

Oh my god. I could rant about this for pages and pages. I hate when people use abbreviations and acronyms in speech. I hate when I ask a computer question and the answer is something like:
"Oh that's easy, just set your SMKY to your SMTP and you AOTC to your GPP and add in a bla bla bla"
and then when people are talking about video games it's "WOW, DAoC, GTA, ABC, DEFG, LMNOP"
God people just use English! I don't want to read anyone's fucking mind.
But things like "frappe" is the worst. Jargon is for idiots, plain and symbol. Jargon is something that groups of stupid people invent to alien people outside of their group to help make themsevles feel more interesting and intelligent. I try to avoid using jargon whenever possible because it is the most elitist, idiotic invention I am currently angry at.
IMMSGDAIDKHTEI!*
*It makes me so god damned angry I don't know how to express it!

So no, it isn't short for anything. It is its own word.
PS: There really is no reason not to know what a word means. If you don't know, look it up. It's easy.

Ah, I literally thought she meant "frap", which is a term Washingtonians use to mean Frappuccinos. I forgot about Frappes. (with an accent mark). Perhaps if I had seen an accent mark I would have caught the reference.
I used to make Frappes when I was a barristo in high school.
