In a work I am writing, two characters are having a discussion that becomes quite heated. The man makes an observation about the woman that is less than flattering and then while she's still recovering, frames it another way, as if to drive the point in further.
I wonder if there is another expression or phrase or analogy that describes this better. Thanks for your suggestions.
