It stands for forte-piano (refering to the expressive technique not the instrument) which means you hit the note hard (forte) and as suddenly as you can you die down to piano. It's quite common for a crescendo to follow a forte-piano.

That term is called a forte piano and it means that you hit the note fairly loud, and then come down in volume.

fp is fortepiano. It means play this part loudly, then continue quietly. You might recognize it in symphonic music as a huge orchestra hit, followed by quiet strings.
