> I have no idea who the fonz is

Someone already answered the rhyming part, but since you don't know the show...

Happy Days was the name of the show and started in 1974 and went on for 11 years/seasons. It was kind of "the 1950's / early 1960's show", depicting a rose-colored view of the 1950's high school scene. Probably connected to George Lucas' 1973 film American Graffiti in spirit, which depicted early 1960's "hanging out" lifestyle - and also had Ron Howard as an actor in it. You could probably throw in Grease the theater play in 1971 as an inspiration/trend of this 1970's glorification of 1950's culture.

Fonz was always doing the stereotype of cool and had plenty of girls while the mainstream kids in the story went to him for advice and lessons about things parents and school don't teach you.

There really needs to be a way for people to supplement titles with their own. It's long overdue on Reddit.

I think it would be cool if we could subscribe to another Redditor who can give us alternate titles for links. Make it a competition for who has the best replacement titles.

It could be done today with a browser extension/add-on, but that wouldn't give it to all the mobile users. Reddit owners would be best to make a way to do it that's standard and across all the clients.

I think it would do a lot to put clickbait news websites back in their place if a site like Reddit didn't have convention of blindly sticking with the original. Maybe even Reddit-style voting could be used to pick the best replacement headline.
