Nerd Word(s) of the Week : It's Morphin' Time

"It's Morphin' Time!"


   It's Morphin' Time - noun. The act of Morphing into Your Costumed Appearance as a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. The Costumed Appearance enhances abilities such as; speed, strength, stamina, and durability. 

 The origin of the phrase came from the 1993 series of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The synopsis of the show centered around a group of teens with noble characteristics, banded together by a Wizard that has engaged in an Epic War with Intergalactic Witch, Rita Repulsa, to form an elite team of Universal Police Rangers with suits that enhance their human abilities, and technology beyond human advances, to help battle Rita Repulsa and the forces of Evil throughout the Universe.

 Each Morpher contained a "power coin", that had a depiction of each Ranger's Dinosaur, Animal, or Other Subjects, in which the Morpher and Ranger's power derived from.

                                      

   The Rangers usually wore their Morphers on their belt buckles, placed behind them, face in, where the public would not notice them, because they were swore to secrecy about their identities of being Power Rangers. 

 The Rangers only called upon their Morphers when it seemed as though they were struggling in battle against  an overwhelming amount of the Putty Patrol or a strengthened Enemy such as Goldar. To initiate the Morphers, the individual would hold up their Morpher, and exclaim their Source Power Subject, such as, "Mastodon!!!" And in an instant, be transformed in their costumed appearance, ready for battle.

 Now the term is used among a generation that was under it's influence, as the Power Rangers became a cultural impact, as a term that is used to state or hype up someone's Psychological State.

    To say, "It's Morphin' Time", is in the same vain as, "Alright, Let's Get To It!"

It's a statement of empowerment, and may improve work ethic, positivity, or hyping morale of an individual or team.

   And May we all, from time to time, state in excitement, "It's Morphin' Time", to help push ourselves and others along, hopefully on the right path.
