    It can be suggesting that the person being spoken to was, the speaker rudely implying the person he or she is speaking to is an entitled snob who's had everything handed to them on a silver platter, i.e., never earned anything and is undeserving. That's a pretty rude judgment to voice, especially if untrue but also even if there is truth to it.

  • You must be talking to a rich person. Rich people gets offended by a lot of things when comparing to the poor.
