Rob Manual wrote a silly song about his habit of smashing his phone, although he admits it's a form of killing the messenger. Contains some rude British slang -I think. Link
I spotted three slang words - nob, balls and nonce. "Nonce" used to mean "sex offender" (about 20 years ago) but has lost that really. It came from "nonsense" and was used like that in prisons apparently, and spread into the outside world meaning "silly" now.
D&D (especially the older versions) is also very useful for teaching children math and problem-solving skills as well as encouraging reading and imaginative play, the latter of which is very important for social and emotional development. I can't wait until my kids are old enough to play (my oldest is 3), but for now they have giant fuzzy dice to throw around.
"Now that Generation X is moving into middle age, they are leading a resurgence of the game Dungeons & Dragons."
Perhaps but another big reason for the resurgence is that D&D retooled to appeal to MMORPG gamers. 3.5 Ed was basically the end of the old D&D paradigm. 4th ed is designed around being tabletop WoW. The game has come full circle.
