martyr up

To do something although it will cause one to suffer because one feels it is correct. Similar to man up but more unpleasant and/or futile.

I'm going to martyr up and invite my family for Thanksgiving.

Is anyone willing to martyr up and organize a holiday party?

Martyr Brag

When someone is talking about how difficult a situation/ task was, but because it was them they managed to do it well.

For had it not been them it wouldn't have been able to be done.

Martyr Bragging dick: "The workload Mr Boss gave me was completely unreasonable. There was far too much for someone to do in that time. I mean, if he hadn't given it to me and like Margaret instead, it never would have been completed on time"

Self respecting normal human being: "You need to shut up you martyr bragging fuckface, you're not special"

Martyr Thread

From time to time certain posts are made on forums / bulletin boards that are in conflict with the focus or view of the board owner or community. At these times the thread maybe closed (ie no more posts accepted) or deleted.

The said thread can then become a rallying point, or Martyr for disruptive community / individual behavior.

Someone brings up a controversial issue / matter which subsequently causes arguments and unacceptable forum behavior. The post is then closed, after which persons begin opening new threads that refer to the closed issue in rebellion to the authority that administrates the board. Community members may also form factions which can then cause further community instability.

The thread could then be called a Martyr Thread.

Martyr economy

An economic condition under which people must subsidize their living through crowdfunding and appeals to charity.

In this martyr economy, we had to go on Facebook to collect money to buy jimmy a new liver.

martyr-19

Virtue signaling, inflexible response to COVID-19 government imposed restrictions. Also used to guilt others into living a Handmaid's tale sort of existence. Highly prevalent in democratic run states.

I haven't left my house in a year. Not to the grocery store, haven't been to a restaurant and I'm home schooling my kids. At least I'm doing my part for the community unlike some people I know...

Dude is such a Martyr-19

Martyr Mary

A true mistress of deception, this office snitch has too much work to get it all done, doesn’t have good help, but still makes a point to complain about how others use their time.

I’d better seem busy because Martyr Mary is on office patrol.
