What does with a silver spoon in his mean?

The phrase "born with a silver spoon in his mouth" is a metaphor meaning someone was born into wealth and privilege.

Here's why:

* Silver spoons were traditionally used by wealthy families, signifying their affluence.

* Being born with a silver spoon suggests that the person was born into a life of luxury and ease, without having to struggle financially.

It is often used to imply:

* The person has never faced hardship or poverty.

* They may be out of touch with the realities of everyday life for those less fortunate.

* They might be seen as spoiled or entitled.

However, it's important to note that the phrase can be used both positively and negatively. Sometimes it's used to describe someone who has had opportunities and advantages, while other times it's used to criticize someone for taking those advantages for granted.
