born on third base[edit]
The OED recently added "born on third (base)": "(North American) to be born with an advantage over other people; esp. to have inherited one's wealth or privileged [status]". Glancing over Google Books results, I see references to an apocryphal rich heir who "was born on third base and thought he had hit a triple". Equinox ◑ 13:18, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
