Hi
I think the 'silver spoon' saying is the most used. I researched some obscure ones from the UK and they are ...
- Toffee-nosed
[= as if wearing a tufted cap that displays an educational award but not one that has been earned by study]
- Hooray Henry
[= Someone who shouts Hooray! when his rich friends do so and has little else to contribute]
- Trust-
