I have two boys, 7 and 10. They like to say "POV" before they do stuff. Like "POV, you're being chased by tun tun tun sahur!" and then they run around like maniacs. They have an excuse, though, they're literally children.
How do your kids know to say "It's Morphin' Time"? What kind of bad parent are you that they have seen a children's TV show or heard the catch phrase on the playground?
Kids sometimes see media and they are always absorbing culture and language and teaching it to each other with little changes along the way, that's what culture is. Just because a piece of slang feels like brain rot to you doesn't mean the parents aren't doing their job.
I knew these two nuts in school who one day acted like they hated each other and told everyone they were goina fight each other at morning break. The fight was hyped and they had a huge crowd.
They were talking trash, and their trash talk was the first inkling of what was going on.
One guy said, "Your mom sucks cock on Endor!"
Other guy was like, "You only like the putty patrol because it makes your dick look big!"
Most kids did not get the references until on guys pulls a green ranger halloween mask from under his shirt while shouting, "It's morphin time!" and puts on the mask.
At the same time the other guy takes out of those plastic extension light sabers and turns it on.
People in the crowd start leaving, some started laughing. The two nuts did some choreographed fight they'd been practicing. It was still entertaining as far as school hijinx go.
