someone who thinks they are helping others think of the opposite side of an argument or even of the weaknesses, who really just pisses everyone off because they are so untactful and confrontational it makes conversations less enjoyable, people less willing to expand their minds, and results in your social life declining because of their existence.

The Devil's Advocate is the "extra" member of a devils threesome. This is the person who is not romantically involved in the couple but is just joining in for the threesome.
