Character traits and development

Fonzie (The Fonz) is a leather jacketed Italian-American mechanic, and later, part-owner of Arnold's restaurant, who lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1950s. A leather jacket is a type of Clothing, a Jacket made of Leather. An Italian American is an American of Italian descent and/or dual citizenship A mechanic is a person who uses Tools to repair things (generally machinery or works to keep things operating properly Wisconsin ( or wɪˈskɑnsɨn (French Ouisconsin) is one of the fifty United States of America, located in the north central part of the United States He is a high school dropout and is seen by the establishment characters in the show as a rebel. The Establishment is a Pejorative term used to refer to the traditional Ruling class Elite and the structures of society that they control

He commands tremendous respect throughout much of Milwaukee for his well-deserved reputation for fighting (in one episode, he out-duelled an expert fencer; in another, he literally mangled a gangster's prosthetic iron hand with one fist), his skills as a ladies' man and mechanic, his history of romantic involvement with virtually every attractive woman in Milwaukee, and his imperturbable "cool. Fencing is the art of armed Combat involving Cutting, Stabbing, or slapping bludgeoning Weapons directly manipulated by hand For other uses see Gangsta. A gangster is a criminal who is or at some point almost invariably becomes a member of a persistent violent Cool is an Aesthetic of attitude behavior comportment appearance style and Zeitgeist. " Opponents far larger and more dangerous-seeming than himself back down from confrontations with him. Those who do confront him never come out on top, leaving "The Fonz" without a scrape.

Fonzie usually exhibited an unflappable personality during times of challenge, stress, or annoyance (although as the series progressed he became more susceptible to irritation). Fonzie's "cool" occasionally manifested as the ability to make mechanical objects function with a single touch, implying that he knew so much about how they worked that he could set the works in motion via one "technical tap"; he frequently started and stopped the jukebox at Arnold's diner by this process. Percussive maintenance or percussion therapy, also known as a technical tap, is a term used to describe hitting a malfunctioning device in order to make it work correctly jukebox is a partially automated music-playing device usually a Coin -operated machine that can play specially selected songs from self-contained media This knack eventually became almost supernatural in nature when he proved able to achieve similar effects by snapping his fingers. In one episode, he is on the phone to Al, who is by the jukebox in Arnold's Drive-In. Al holds the phone up and Fonzie's fingers are heard snapping, causing the jukebox to cease playing. At the end of the phone call Fonzie snaps his fingers again, causing the jukebox to start playing once more. In another episode, while camping in the woods with his friends, he became so annoyed by the repeated sounds of wildlife around him that he shouted "Cool It!" into the woods, silencing every animal in the vicinity. "Let's see Tarzan do that," he mused to himself as he settled into sleep. Tarzan is a Fictional character, an archetypal Feral child raised in the African jungle by Apes who later returns to civilization only to

Fonzie referred to the men's washroom at Arnold's as his "office" where he would give Richie personal advice or set up meetings on other issues. The walls of the "office" were covered with phone numbers of Fonzie's many girlfriends. When the new Arnold's opened up (replacing the one that was accidentally burned down), Al set up a desk with phone and pull-down sheet of all recovered phone numbers in the new men's washroom just for Fonzie.

Occasional facts about the Fonz's past emerged throughout the series: As a child, he and his mother were abandoned by his father. The only words of advice Fonz ever remembered his father giving him were "Don't wear socks in the rain. " When he disappeared, he left behind a locked lock box for his son, but not a key; the young Arthur did everything he could to open the box, finally running over it repeatedly with his tricycle. The contents? "The key, and that's it!" In the sixth season episode "Christmas Time", his father, a sailor, delivers a Christmas present for the Fonz to try to make amends (he does not realise it is his father until after he has gone). Fonzie is very resentful about the present, but at the end of the episode reads his father's letter explaining why he left, and opens it. In a later episode Fonz meets a woman who he believes is his mother. She convinces him she is not but in the end she looks at a picture of Fonz as a small child and sighs.

As a youth, the Fonz dropped out of high school and ran with at least two gangs, the Demons and the Falcons. Gangsters redirects here For the computer game see Gangsters (video game. His "redemption" began in an incident that occurred months before the series began, when he intervened in a rumble to which gang members had challenged high school student Richie Cunningham, who, to his challengers' surprise, actually showed up for the fight in spite of his obvious fear. Street fighting is a term used to denote unsanctioned usually illegal hand-to-hand Fighting in public places between individuals or groups of people Intervening to save Richie, Fonzie developed a respect for him from that moment on, and despite their many differences, the two developed a close friendship. While the naive Richie learned much about the ways of the world from the Fonz, Fonzie in turn learned about the value and benefits of a tight-knit family from the Cunninghams, from whom he eventually rented an attic room. Secondary suite is an Urban planning term for an additional separate dwelling unit on a property that would normally accommodate only one dwelling unit Even Richie's father Howard (Mr. C. to Fonzie), a would-be pillar of the community who was initially quite concerned of his son's streetwise friend, came to regard Fonzie with respect and familial affection. Despite his seeming aloofness, Fonzie had his more whimsical traits, most notably his utter devotion to the Lone Ranger whom he meets in a later episode. The Lone Ranger is an American, long-running Old-time radio and early Television show created by George W While he was always confident with the women, he would still blush when Mrs. Cunningham (Mrs. C. to Fonzie), who became like a surrogate mother to him, kissed him on the cheek. Mrs. C. was the only one whom Fonzie allowed to call by his real name, which she always did affectionately. Richie's sister Joanie also became attached to Fonzie, who called her "Shortcake". Fonzie's shtick of flipping his thumb while saying "aaay" was a way of flipping off people in a manner that could get past the television censors. A shtick ( Yiddish: שטיק) (or schtick) is a comic theme or Gimmick. In Western cultures, the finger (as in giving someone the finger) is a well-known Obscene Hand gesture made by extending the middle finger of

During the course of the show, the Fonz finished his high school diploma at night school and became an auto mechanic instructor, and later school teacher. In later seasons, he went from being a womanizer to having a single long-term girlfriend at least twice. Though he never married, he also adopted a son in the final season, completing the transformation from rebel to family man.
