How Did Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington Get His Nickname?
Did they ever explain it?

It came from his pretending to play the bass: "Boom boom boom boom."
Kotter: What do you want to write your essay about? Freddy ‘Boom Boom’ Washington: (Acts out playing a Bass Guitar) Kotter: Oh, you want to write about playing Bass? Freddy: Na man, I want to write about PRETENDING to play the Bass. |
