cold burn

When a person gets put down by somebody, and his/her friend tries to say something to make them feel better but accidentally says something that makes it worse.
Originates from the phrase "do you want some ice with that burn?", as putting ice on burns can cause a cold burn on top of the hot burn, hence the name.

Person 1: I've had Christmas crackers funnier than you.
Person 2: *sad face*
Person 3: Want some ice on that burn?
Person 4: It's OK, the Pony Club likes your jokes.
Person 2: *runs off in floods of noisy tears*
Person 3: Cold burn!
