The welfare nanny state.
That has no meaning. It's just a worn-out cliche that's way past its sell-by date.
Of course it has a meaning and you know exactly what it is.
It's the lazyman's way of trying to sound smart, but comes across as just smartASS. It is indeed a phrase that has lost its meaning, unless you get specific. The entire country has played "nannie" to the rest of the world, not just its own poor citizens. Get it?
