We also hear people say “Do not add insult to injury” and that means the exact same thing, too – do not hurt people even more by keep dwelling on a subject that’s painful to them.
In other words, do not keep kicking them when they’re down.
In China, we have an old sinister saying that means the same thing, too, and that is luo jing xia shi – dropping a rock down a well after seeing someone fall into it.
Sinister, indeed.
Alright, here are media examples of people rubbing it in, or not:
1. The Finals loss still stings for Durant and he says he constantly thinks back to how the Heat did all the little things en route to beating the Thunder. While he got a daily reminder of the Finals loss by playing with Heat forward LeBron James on Team USA, James didn’t rub it in.
“LeBron made it easier,” Durant said. “He didn’t talk about it one time. That was cool. A guy that has achieved so much this past year, all he was worried about was Team USA. He never talked about it. [Chris] Bosh and [Dwyane] Wade came out there [to London] for a few days. Those guys were cool as well.
“But in the back of our minds we know we had a nice battle with those guys. In a perfect world, we can do it again. But we’ll see.”

2. The teen megastar, usually tight lipped about his personal life, recently let it all hang out for an interview in the UK’s Fabulous magazine.
