A moment of self denial, privation, or sacrifice that a person uses for sympathy and pity for years on end or to guilt people into doing what they want.
Ed knew that driving his girlfriend to the airport at 4am was just the martyr moment he needed to get more oral.
“Lilly, you can just jump down off that cross now. Staying three minutes after work is not a martyr moment worthy of asking for Friday night off.”

A person with a compulsion to demonstrate "presenteeism" by travelling to the office via any possible means during heavy snowfalls, when home working is a readily available alternative.
Rosa - Transport system and schools closed down by several feet of snow, but good old Simon made it into the office yesterday I hear.
Emma - Yes he told anyone who would listen about his epic journey to work on cross-country skis.
Rosa: But he only had to do a bit of non-urgent filing.
Emma: Yes I know, he's such a snow martyr.

A person, commonly found in a bar, who frequently engages the most clearly damaged individual in the room despite warnings or signs of any kind. This term was coined by Florida singer/songwriter Michael J Weiss in his song entitled "Bar Martyr." This song tells the story of a situation involving the original Bar Martyr and his attempt to get the attention of a clearly intoxicated and crazy individual.
A Bar Martyr would ignore all warnings and attempt to pick up the easiest prey in the bar simply because it's the path of least resistance. For this person to be a true Bar Martyr, the reasons and warnings not to do so MUST be overwhelming.

St. Stephen was stoned to death
Felix Mantz was drowned
Many people was burned at the stake
But most importantly, Jesus Christ died on the cross for everyone's sins, yours, mine, and everyone elses. you can red his story in the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. Jesus is the ultimate christian martyr, and the reason everyone else chooses to become one.

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?
