How it's used
Refers specifically to someone who relies on inherited wealth and lacks the drive to work or achieve anything independently. While it carries a strong sense of disapproval, it is often used in a slightly mocking or gossipy tone rather than as a direct insult to someone's face. It implies a lack of life skills and a tendency to squander resources.
