counterparty 

(FINANCE) for a financial instrument, the person/institution who takes the opposite position. For example, in a credit default swap (CDS), the buyer is someone who needs insurance against the possibility that a borrower will default on a loan. In that case, the counterparty is whoever receives the CDS premiums, and pays out in the event of default.
The purpose of financial options is to minimize risk to the buyer; therefore, it creates potentially lucrative opportunities for the counterparty, because the counterparty takes on so much risk.

countenance

Countenance is another outdated word for someone's facial expression. This word is often found in nineteenth century novels. It has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's genitals.
A: Look at Pickford's countenance. He's looking really stoned/wacked out on weed today.
B: I agree. He couldn't have a more drugged up mien. His physiognomy looked very pallid as he was dragged out of the morgue last night.
