Games

We have discussed in the past how language reflects and shapes the culture, attitudes, lifestyle etc. etc. of those who speak it. 

In English there is an expression that has recently become very popular. When something is very important for someone, it is called a "game-changer". This may well reflect the fact that in our culture, much of life revolves around games [and, for that matter, toys, such as cars and phones...]. Games such as sports and also the manipulative or other psychological "games" people are constantly playing with each other. וד"ל.
