A person whose life is so empty that they live to use their self-sacrifice as a weapon against you. In their neuropathological state they believe that by doing so this places them above you, whether intellectually, socially, financially etc.
A martyr always suffers from the 'Christ-Complex' a neurotic crusade (psychosis) that they feel empowers their otherwise meaningless & miserable existence.
Main weapons in the arsenal of the martyr include:
Typical:
The guilt trip ( www.urbandictionary.com )
Atypical:
High explosives & nails. ( def:nailbomb www.urbandictionary.com )
Chances are that we ALL know a martyr. See if you can spot which of your 'friends' or work 'colleagues' is one.

Joe: "It's OK John, I don't mind cleaning up all your crap & covering for you while you go home early... again."
John: "Aw... you're a real FRIEND Joe! Thanks. How can my sick wife & I ever repay you?
later....
Manager: "Are you STILL here Joe? Jeez, you're such a MARTYR"
Joe: "Yeah, I'm not feeling so good boss, but we're so short-staffed, what with JOHN GOING HOME EARLY that I thought I'd better stay & PICK UP ALL HIS SHIT... AGAIN.
later....
John: "Hey boss, how are things at the office?"
Manager: "Better now that Joe has replaced you" "Did I mention that YOU'RE FIRED?"
Tourist: "Hello young man, that heavy coat looks very hot on a day like today!"
Young man: "ALLAH HO AKBAR!" BOOOOM

1. A person who seeks out and/or nurtures conflict within their life.
2. A person who creates drama in their life where there was none before.
Often describes an attention whore or a pity whore, who find pleasure in lording their pain over others and garnering support because of it. A martyr seeks out and revels in personal conflict so as to have an excuse to be angry.

1. Mary bought her husband a lifetime pass to Fantasy Football Camp, even though she hates football and hates when he leaves the house for a long time. She yells at him all the time because he goes. She's such a martyr.
2. Bob always takes my comments the wrong way. Why, just the other day I said his tie looked nice, and he said, "Nice? Why not great? Do you think it's ugly? Why do you hate my clothes? Why do you hate me?" Then he told everyone I was rude to him. What a martyr!

Fomerly known as your Wingman or Taking one for the team. A guy that sacrifices himself by removing the we gotta go girl or the ugly chick from the gaggle of women that you are attempting to take home. Since women know what Wingman means, this is the deceptive term to get their guard down.
Lets go over and talk to those girls at the bar. Dan, you are going to be a martyr tonight, the butter face is all yours.
