[edit]Note. The original nautical expression is just born with a silver spoon and describes those young gentlemen who were able to enter the Royal Navy without examination and whose promotion was assured. the converse was born with a wooden ladle
This needs support as etymology. DCDuring TALK 15:44, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
