an act where one brave soul in your group of male friends hits on the Nottie of a group of hotties so his friends can get their slide on later on that night. taking one for the team usually involves just talking to the nottie and laughing at her jokes and complimenting her (horrid) appearance, but it may be necessary to appease the nottie by getting your wacka wacka on with her...back at her place of course, so your roomates never see her.
yeah, i was totally working up my conversation with number one hottie when her nottie roomate showed up (again!), so i had to to have joey take one for the team.

The act of taking the obese chick in a bunch of hot chicks, so the the other guys can get laid. Unfortunately, there are very few men who will take one for the team, and with good reason. If you find one, let me know.
Champ over there gets to take one for the team, this time

Many definitions, but for women it usually means flirting all night with an unattractive/lame guy you are not AT ALL interested in so him and his group of friends can:

A) Get you AND your girlfriends in club/lounge/event for free or pay for you all.
B) Get you AND your girlfriends into VIP.

C) Supply drinks all night for you AND your girlfriends.

Yes you end up annoyed all night and the guy acts as a major c*ck-block and you'll have to comprise a way to artfully dismiss him at the night's end, but at least you're tipsy and you're friends will thank you later because they are having a blast.

PAYING IT FORWARD.

To pretend to have fun at a boring event where everybody else seems to be having a blast

(Also useful during orgies when you can't orgasm but but want your partners to feel good about themselves)
I was sober at the reception and missing my girlfriend. Needless to say, I faked one for the team.

Maybe I should consider a monogamous relationship. I keep having to fake one for the team at all those Furry parties.

Essentially getting with the most hideous out of a group of potential mates. Typically used in male circles about women, calling this individual the grenade. Doing this would allow for friends to get some.
