The world classes (first, second, and third) have no official definition, but are often times used to describe the economic position of a state. The differences between the classes has less to do with the economic well being of the nation, and more to do with the geopolitical divides that emerged during and after the cold war.
First world is generally defined as a western style state that is usually capitalist and democratic, which has a high standard of living.
See also: second world and third world.

The same girl or guy calling your problems first world is the girl or guy teasing you about being broke, where does all the heartfelt compassion for people in different countries come from? Bullshit people talk straight out of a kids school book about first, second, and third world.

the state of being super hungry when there's nothing available to eat but lots of food you don't feel like eating.
"Man, I'm hungry! What do we have in the house?"
"Oh, there's pasta, soup, a whole loaf of bread -"
"Nah, that all sounds terrible. God, I'm first-world starving!"

Someone focused on relatively trivial feminist issues in wealthier countries while neglecting much more important issues elsewhere.
She complained that the girls' toys were all in pink packaging, but ignored the fact that they had been made by child labour in India. She's a real First World Feminist!
