A koan is often a paradoxical phrase or story that is supposed to point the reader in the direction of spiritual enlightenment. Many of them have a form where a disciple asks a master a question, and the master replies in an unexpected and often incomprehensible way.
The Fonz is the ice-cool leather jacketed star of 70's sit-com Happy Days. His catchphrase was "Aaaayyyyyy."
