Most of these definitions are wrong or half right, there are two types of Martyrs:
1.) One who puts themselves in harms way so that someone else doesn't have to. One who would die fighting for a cause.
2.) An attention whore who puts themselves in harms way and/or complains about it expecting others to feel thankful or sorry for them. For Glory.

1.) Although Rambo is a fictional character, he is the ultimate example of a Martyr.
2.) SPARTANS! PREPARE FOR GLORY!!!
(HOOA HOOA HOOA HOOA HOOA!!!)
Although the Spartans wanted glory, they did what they did anyway glory or no glory, they aren't really attention whores.

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.

Despite reddit admin's current opression and censorship on loli content, Holofan4life rose up and was unjustly permanently banned. Loved by all, his ban has brought much distraught to the community. He has indeed become a true martyr.
