Yo lo tenía como un regionalismo que significa algo como "malcriado; acostumbrado a los lujos; que no mueve un dedo" parecido al rioplatense "criado con leche de higo".

Encontré en la web que puede también referirse a quienes quieren presumir de buena posición social sin realmente tenerla.

Yo no estaba seguro del significado, pero comparto lo que dice Alec.

Esta es una cita de la web:
Solo la cara de felicidad de mi Mª Ángeles mientras se ponía al día con su amiga evitó que le diese uno de los cortes que me caracterizan al ‘señorito de pan pringao’ que tenía frente a mí.

Mi padre hablaba de "hijos de papá" o también de "niños pijos" o "pijitos".
