      A martyr is a person who dies fighting for what they believe in. A martyr can either kill themselves or be killed.
      In the 19th Century, a woman in England named Emily Davison (A member of the suffragette party) becamame a matryr after killing herself by jumping infront of horses at the Epson Derby.
      Martyrs gain a lot of sympathy by the public for preforming such an act which is one of the main contributing factors as to why they do it in the first place.

        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 doesnt 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].

                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.
