Well, the saying goes. "Born with a silver spoon in his mouth." I don't know if a silver foot in ones mouth is a good thing or a bad thing. Typically, the silver spoon means one who is born into wealth and status.

(direct object of the verb 'inherited')The photo was framed in silver. (object of the preposition 'in')The word 'silver' is also a verb and an adjective.
It means born into an aristocratic or very rich family. The above answer is true, but the truth of this saying goes much father than just being born rich. In days when the peasants were dying in large numbers from plagues and illnesses the rich & affluent would give their babies a silver spoon to suck on to boost the immune system. This is a partial reason why the wealthy didn't die when plagues were killing off most of the population, they could afford better sanitation and silver spoons, the peasants could not. It means that one was born into a wealthy and influential family and was therefore able to enjoy privileges and advantages that only the wealthy can enjoy. Well, considering that silverware and cutlery used to be a sign of wealth, to me this expression means to be "well-born"; basically, being fed your porridge with a silver spoon, being used from the very start to best quality things (thus believing them to be "the norm")... Possibly implying a whimsical, spoilt brat, who will have a long way to adulthood and proper understanding of life. (But that might be personal interpretation
