I have a question.
Does the saying go " To add in salt to injury" OR "To add insult to injury" ?
I have a feeling its the 2nd one...but if you think in logical terms..doesn't the first one portray the similar meaning for the saying as well? heh!

Hmm, you see CM, I didn't even know this phrase before so I googled it. I couldnt find any match for 'to add in salt to injury' (there were some diet sites saying 'reduce salt in your food' or some sort). However, when I google 'to add insult to injury', I found this:
To add insult to injury is a phrase meaning to compound a problem (or set of problems) with further a problem or problems.
It is also:
Add Insult to Injury is the fourth album by British electronic musicians Add N to (X). It was released on October 16, 2000 by Mute Records.
But I reckon you don't need the 2nd info... lets move on.
I got this from my life saver online encyclopedia called the Wikipedia.
Hope it helps :)
And I guess the logical thing makes sense too.... :S
Wikipedia rocks.. 8 p
haha..funny la u Jun. Sampai pegi cari encyclopedia ;)but hey i've learnt something today!
wow thanks jun..you saved me many sleepless nights...heheh!
to rub salt into a wound is basically the same meaning. i.e. to make an unpleasant situation even worse.
waah... jun... semangat.
2nd one is the correct one..
but hor.. the first one sounded like some chinese saying.. hahahaha
