Eating the Raspberry

The act of intentionally harming or appearing to harm oneself in order to test if others would save them.

The phrase comes from the film The Roses, in which one character eats a raspberry she is allergic to to test if her husband would save her.
I decided to try eating the raspberry by dropping in front of my dog to see what he'd do.
