Pipe (one's) eye American dated
To weep or cry
A little girl is piping her eye in front of the store because her parents do not buy her a new barbie.
She piped her eye a lot when she failed the first prize in the contest.
My mom piped her eye when it was time for me to leave.
The verb "pipe" should be conjugated according to its tense.
There is a source that the phrase appeared in the 19th century.
Do you see anything wrong?
Although you got the second prize, you was still defeated by the first one and fail to win, come first or become the champion in the end.
She congratulated me for getting the second prize, but I think second place is the first loser.
