what does it mean when someone says add insult to injury?

Answer #1

It’s when you’ve hurt someone and then you’ve made it worse by doing yet another bad thing. Example, you broke your mom’s favourite vase, then you just left it there on the floor for her to clean up.

Answer #2

It means to be harsh or unkind to someone when they are already feeling down.
