An entitled upper-class or upper-middle-class son of a well-to-do and connected family who, despite all of the advantages he has been provided, still manages to fail at almost everything he does. In order for a failson to come into being, one or both of his parents must be highly successful by some measure in order to illuminate just how much of a failure the son is in comparison.
Failsons are typically educated at good schools that they learn almost nothing from, prone to excessive partying in their youth, and inept at almost everything except using their connections. Failsons from the wealthiest families are often charged with leading some part of family business operations, which inevitably either fail or are narrowly saved from failure by more competent people underneath them.
Despite this, a failson may be protected from the perception of his failure by his family's wealth and social status, as well as their desire not to be embarrassed. Millions have been spent to obscure the failure of these cherished baby boys. Due to this, it's not uncommon for a failson to actually imagine himself as successful, and even to be a "self-made man."
Failsons are sometimes at the center of massive social and political upheaval. One of the best examples in recent history is Russian Tsar Nicholas II of the Romanov family, whose complete incompetence led to the downfall of the Tsarist regime and eventually, the Russian Revolution.

"Do most influential political families have a failson?"
"Probably. Donald Trump, Jr. is a classic failson. So is Hunter Biden."
"Wait ... Was George W. Bush actually a failson? Or did he overcome it by becoming President?"
"That's a question for the ages, my friend. Is failure central to the failson, or can it be transcended through enough artificially-manufactured success on the part of the failson's family and associated cronies? The world may never know."

Get the faisu mug.A Toronto urban myth, supposedly a large half man half bear that breathes fire and has the ability to manipulate your mind in a way similar to large quantities of LSD. Supposedly has fought a pack of wolves, a tiger, a lion, and the three bears simultaneously. Also said to have survived being hit by a moving truck, the truck was destroyed, he didn't have a scratch.
I'm sick of hearing all these stupid exaggerated stories about "Faisel Jaffer" clearly he didn't do any of this stuff, and clearly hes not a real person

Get the Fasshole mug.A portmanteau of the words 'fail' and 'Maelstrom'. A fail that is so much of a fail that it sucks everything around it into its vortex and turns everything else into a fail.
OMFG that jerk failed so hard that it made me fail too. It was a sort of a Failstrom for the entire room.

Get the Failstrom mug.To behave in the manner of Michael Fassbender. To consistently exhibit outrageous sexual and deviant behavior until everyone around you is also having fun.
