rub it in

This month's joke is based on the expression long face.

As you know, a horse, compared to a human, has a long face! We can use long face to describe someone's physical appearance e.g. "I have a long face but my brother's is quite round."

As an idiom long face means to look unhappy or sad:

"Why has Simon got such a long face?" "He failed his exam."

"She's got a long face today because she just broke up with her boyfriend."

are you all right ?

1.)Hey Are you all right  ?? why you've got that long face  

2.)I had a long face when i got to know my result , it was awful .

 It is an idiom in our language too but i didn't know that it is also used in english

Thanks a lot ,i'll be using it while speakin' or writin' english.
