Rick Wilson's word of the day.
Appropriately revived for 2020.

"One is not born a failson. Nor does one simply inherit the status of failson.
No—failson status is earned through a display of equal parts incompetence, stupidity, and arrogance.
And until his book, no person in America—or maybe even the world, so bursting at the seams with louche heirs and dissolute royals with no throne to sit their pampered arses on—illustrated all the facets of a failson better than Junior."

I'm thinking it could be expanded to "Failspawn"

Every damned one of them.
