lucky sperm club
n.— «Even if it could be demonstrated that ordinary people had less native ability than those selected for high position, that would no mean that they deserved to get less. Being a member of the “luck sperm club” confers no moral right to advantage. What one is born with, or without, is not of one’s own doing.» —by Michael Young Rise of the Meritocracy , 1994.
