Just type in "frapping" in the videos section on this site:

F- Frantic, Frequent, Frenzied (any)
R- Random
A- Acts (of)
P- Play

It's so much fun to watch!

You can usually observe frapping in corgis after baths!

Frapping is awesome and VERY entertaining!

Ha ha... Finn does that all the time, he even does the crazy eights! His best freakout moments are after he gets a bath. He'll be totally mellow and sweet while we dry him off and brush him but as soon as we let him go he turns into a bucking bronco and will randomly throw himself on the floor. I've got to tape it next time!

hmmm, but with all that sudden starting and stopping, and quick changes of direction -- do the faeries need helmets and seatbelts? How the end do they stay on? I know, I know, they're faeries... ;-)

There should be a FRAP FAQ.
Corgwyn are a gift of the faeries.
FRAPping is when they're giving a faerie a ride.
That's what the saddle mark is for.

Good example. Mine fraps quite randomly when interacting with our mean cat. I'm not sure if he is trying to herd or impress it.

I've also heard it means Frenzied Random Acts of Play--either one is fun to see!

I've heard different acronyms -- Frequent Random Acts of Play or something along those lines. My dogs do it quite suddenly, usually after swimming. They will go from a standing position into high-speed running, sweeping huge figure eights, lolling their tonges and with a look of pure joy on their faces -- and they will just run and run and run, back and forth, up and down the figure eight. And then stop as suddenly as they started. A frap. This isn't my video, but it's a great sample (if you search under Frap in videos, you'll see a bunch, I'm sure): frapping puppy
