I do. I live in the place they call them that.

Here's something from dictionary.com's definition of milk shake incase you don't know what they are:

Regional Note: To most Americans, a milk shake, that thick, sweet accompaniment to a hamburger and fries, naturally includes ice cream. But speakers in parts of New England make finer distinctions in their ice cream terminology. To a person living in Rhode Island or the adjoining part of Massachussetts, a milk shake consists of milk shaken up with flavored syrup and nothing more; if ice cream is included, the drink is called a cabinet, possibly, says food writer John F. Mariani in The Dictionary of American Food and Drink, named after the square wooden cabinet in which the mixer was encased. Farther north in New England, the same drink is called a velvet or a frappe (from French frapper, to ice).

Well, I live in New England; but, the only alternative word outside of milkshake, that I've heard up here, is frappe. ^_^; So obviously, yes, I know what a frappe is, lol. Never heard of it being called a velvet or a cabinet...ever. O_o Frappes are pretty tasty, though!

Yep, I know what a frappe is too, considering I live in New England as well. ^^; But that's the only other name for a milkshake I've heard either. o_o; I've never heard them called a velvet or a cabinet before. O_o; It must be a more northern name for 'em or something...
