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 failson mug.Fallout: New Vegas is the most recent game in the Fallout franchise to date, and unlike Fallout 3, it was developed by Obsidian Entertainment, rather than Bethesda Softworks. It adds many new features, such as the Reputation system, which allows you to have different reputations with different factions, rather than the same for all factions. The downside is that the old system, the Karma system, no longer affects gameplay. There are several new additions of ammunition that did not exist in the previous game, such ass the 9mm, the 50 MG, and several others. They also added new weapons to accompany those types of ammunition. They added several new creatures that did not exist in the predecessor as well. The environment is much less depressing than Fallout 3, because rather than ruined buildings and broken up roads, they have an almost beautiful irradiated dedert to travel in. Once you get to the New Vegas area, the lighting of the Strip is beautiful. People complain about bugs, but bugs can be fixed which makes the argument that the game is a piece of shit because of simple bugs is ridiculous. In my opinion, Obsidian did a good ass job on the game and followed (maybe even exceeded)Bethesda's standards. There are more locations, more things to do, more everything. And all is fucking amazing. Buy a copy, it'll do you well.

Get the Fallout '76 mug.from the movie, Die Hard 2
this phrase replaced the more vulgar phrase "yippee kay yay motherfucker" in the censored version of the film intended for television airplay.
The statement was made by Bruce Willis as he threw his lit Zippo lighter into the stream of fuel in order to bring down the escaping plane full of evildoers.
