How it's used
Often carries a strong negative connotation of being entitled, lazy, or lacking real-world skills. While it literally refers to the second generation of a wealthy family, it is rarely used to describe someone who works hard or maintains a low profile. The term implies a lifestyle of excessive consumption and reliance on family wealth.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe anyone who is simply wealthy or successful in their own right, as it specifically targets those perceived as living off their parents' success.
