Idiom of the day :- Cold comfort

Usage, examples and definition of the Idiom :-

There’s nothing very warm or comforting about cold comfort. The Smiths know that as well as anyone. They have just inherited Grandma Smith’s huge house — but they’ve discovered it has no heating ! ‘There’s cold comfort in having inherited this,’ they shivered. To get cold comfort means to get no pleasure or happiness at all out of something.
