fall on the grenade

To make a sacrifice for the good of others. Originally a military term for when a junior officer would deliberately fall to cover a grenade - the explosion from which would kill a far greater number of his side if he didn't. In particular, it would be when a junior officer would make this sacrifice for a senior one - to protect the commanding officer for the benefit (supposedly) of the army.

Its meaning has been expanded to cover things like taking the blame for a team-fuckup (eg. at work) or humpin a dawg so (as said above) your mates can get into the pretty ones.

Charm Grenade

A conversational or behavioural device used to charm or fascinate. The device is most often used where a gentleman meets one or more ladies in a social situation and wants to impress.

Matt threw a particularly devastating charm grenade into the conversation last night. It took out half the ladies at the table.

fall on the grenade

being the "wingman"

...But she's tugging an anchor
A junior investment banker
Who's talkin' about herself and not much more
So buy her a beer
It's the reason you're here
Mighty WINGMAN
You're taking one for the team
So you're buddy can live the dream
WINGMAN!!!!
