How it's used

This idiom describes someone who is extremely spoiled or lives a life of absolute privilege where every whim is satisfied immediately. It is often used to critique someone who lacks resilience or has become entitled because they have never faced rejection or hardship. While it can describe a lucky situation, it frequently carries a slightly cynical or critical tone when applied to people.

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe someone who is simply successful or hardworking. It specifically implies an effortless, almost magical ability to obtain desires, usually due to external support like wealth or doting parents, rather than personal achievement.
