It seems that suddenly in the past few years everyone under a certain age is using the phrase "based off". I can only guess that some character on a popular TV show used this phrase a lot. There is actually NO such word-phrase in the English language. "Based off" is, in fact, meaningless. Something can NOT be "based" and "off" at the same time.
I believe the meaning you kids are attempting to get across is actually the meaning conveyed by the accepted English word-phrase, "based on", meaning "started from or founded on."
