The inherent value someone puts onto you based on superficial features. Often based on race, sex, sexuality, identity, religion, class, and physical ability.
Often times privilege is hard to see when looking at the privileged person. Its only obvious when comparing two people who are very similar other then the superficial features that grant you privilege.
Its worth noting that aspects that often influence privilege can affect things such as getting a job and not be an example of privilege, but rather qualification -ex: physical ability in a job requiring large amounts of movement
Class and privilege are not the same thing. Both can effect each other, with privilege or lack there of affecting your ability to make money, and your class influencing how people see you, but they are not the same.
A person will never be less then their perceived inherent value (privilege), meaning someone without that privilege is seen as inherently lesser.
Ex: "Tod would never do that, he's a christian!"

Get the Privilege mug.Seeing how over half of your gross wage goes away in taxes to pay for someone else’s “free” education, healthcare and welfare whilst not enjoying any of those “freebies” yourself.
Breanna (formerly Tim): Oh my gosh! The free healthcare system has been so supportive with my gender reassignment: 2 years’ worth of HRT and psychological consultation, top and bottom surgery and 2 more years of follow up consultation…all for freeee
Joe: *rolls eyes* I was at work while you were doing all of that, eventually got a rotten tooth and had to pay 5k for the implant…I’m so privileged.
Frank: I had to take a payday loan at a 300% APR when my car broke down and needed to fix it to keep going to work while not getting evicted, I’m sooo privileged too.

Get the Privilege mug.A group of boomers. Refers to a gang of people generally born between 1946-1964, who have had the privilege of fucking up the environment, housing market, job market, inflation, and social mores for the rest of us.
Let's get in line and order quickly before that privilege makes it to the front and demands to speak to the manager.

Get the privilege mug.A grouping of Karens, usually more than two but it can be used in the singular.
Permit Patty, BBQ Becky, and Anti-vaxx went to the park, took down the restricted tape, and argued with the cops, until a few were arrested.
A few volunteers on websites that approve content, while also being Karens, deciding not to publish. While saying "don't take it personally!"

A privilege of karens went to the park to defy a stay at home order of Social distancing and not run the risk catching Coronavirus.
Martin Jackson for President
at first I thought was just two Karens causing trouble but then at the end there was a whole flock of Karens.
WidgettWalls :
Can we just say that a flock of Karens is a privilege? “He got attacked by a privilege of Karens.”

Get the Privilege of Karens mug.1. (n.) Someone who feels they have the right to lecture you on your class, race, or gender privilege even though nobody asked them for their opinion or cares what bullshit they have to say. Highly manipulative, using guilt, shame, and bigoted ideology to accuse others of "privilege crime". See "Social Justice Warrior"
"Suey Park said that white men can't have an opinion on what is or isn't racist because they haven't had the experiences of people of color. She's such a privilege grinch."

Get the Privilege Grinch mug.The feeling of guilt for having so much when you know others have so little and it wears you out and causes anxiety.
I just bought a new Tesla and on the radio it was talking about underprivileged children. I felt bad about spending so much money on a car when children were starving it caused privilege exhaustion

Get the Privilege Exhaustion mug.Anytime a person of color either looks white enough or acts white enough to get by the white people's racist radar, granting the full benefits of white privilege. This also applies to any time a person of color gains the benefit of white privilege by hanging out with white people.
Guy 1: Joe got pulled over and he didn't even get a ticket or nothin'!
Guy 2: How did he pull that off?
Guy 1: I was in the car with him so he got privilege by proxy.
