adding injury to insult

This is a distortion of an old expression: "adding insult to injury". The original meaning was that it's bad enough to be physically injured by someone, without receiving a verbal insult from the assailant as well.
"As if getting my parked car hit by a truck wasn't bad enough, the car being towed away by the parking police was just adding injury to insult."

add to cart

Online stores typically have customers construct before they pay a list of all the items they want to buy. This list is called a shopping cart, in analogy to real-life supermarket shopping carts, so the command to add an item to the list is typically "add to cart".

By extension, the phrase can be used to mean "I want it".
Once I found the right brand, I clicked "add to cart".

And they have a machine that can make whatever food they want out of thin air. Add to cart!
