There's a web site called The Great Pop vs Soda Controversy (http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~almccon/pop_soda/) that traces the regional differences in what people call it.
You have to go to the site to see the most up-to-date map, but this is fairly recent:

A Frapp is like...you probably know it as a milkshake....ice cream and milk and stuff blended into a thick drink.
Jimmys are the little sugary pieces that you put on ice cream (sprinkles to you)
