A phrase to check someone complaining and whining about their first world problems, when in reality they have it pretty good compared to majority of the human population living in real miserable third world problems. It shuts them up and makes them regain another perspective on how they're behaving and perhaps even spark change in them from being malignant narcissistic to perhaps less self absorbed and maybe even humanitarian.

A phrase to check your friends when they're bitching, grumbling and fussing over something super petty, i.e. a boy, girl, ego, service, materialism, from ruining a good time in the moment with you.

A phrase to check anyone who is immodest, pretentious and wildly smug of their wealth, material, looks and status and has no comprehension that their quality of life was largely due to luck where they born and how they were raised. And some of these types of people also do nothing to help others or community and have a crazy sense of entitlement and selfishness.

(American guy) "pfft! I can't even afford to see a doctor for my major illness, nor afford college in my extortionate inhumane country, check your privilege!
(Haiti girl) "bitches please! I live with no electricity, scraps for food, no shelter, no clean water and grim chance for a prosperous future, and the only healthcare I came close to was seeing Sean Penn in the distance once when I was bleeding in a puddle of slop, check YOUR privilege!
