To walk around in a state of simulated dishevelment: particularly wearing an overly long sweater with the sleeves pulled over the hands and clenched from the inside, channelling Morrissey from his Smiths days or Robert Smith from the Cure, ideally combined with walking somewhat chaotically and your head lolling from side to side. A particularly common affliction in disaffected middle class teenagers who have discovered early post-goth 'miserablist' bands.
James is looking very frapsy today, but I know he bought that sweater from the Gap yesterday.

Frappy is a neologism meaning, "frantically happy."

This comes from the 1980s comic strip, "Toby Juan: Hound of Decadence," where Toby's owner's name was Dave Frappus.

Frappy (adj); to frap, frapping, frapped (v). Synonyms include ham, cheeky, and in Spanish, chiflado. It nicely fills a void in the English lexicon where no other word quite captures the spirit of unprovoked silliness.
For example, when a puppy, for no apparent reason starts running around the house like a maniac. Or, when a newborn colt suddenly feels spunky and takes off, farting across the pasture. People can be frappy also, especially little kids when they are feeling silly and goofy. Frappy can also be understood as just plain, silly-cute.

"Look at that frappy little kitten, playing with that piece of string."

Or, "I just got a raise at work and I sure am feeling frappy today."

I was filming a new commercial for Taco ToWn, and the camera man was using fraps. It increased our ping so high that we got banned from the Hollywood Studios server.
