devil's advocate

someone who chooses to say the opposite of what another person thinks or says, simply to be an asshole.

P1: "I really like apple pie."
P2: "apple pie is disgusting, I hate it"
P3: "Geez, P2, stop being such a devil's advocate, its annoying."
P2: "I'm just stating my opinion, chill out."

devils advocate

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.

-your boyfriend is always ruining the fun by trying to be a devils advocate.

-yeah, come over the next time he's out of town.
-sorry. we just can't stand him.

she-devil’s advocate

When you step up to insert feminist principles into a conversation that needs it, even though it might not be readily received.

I’m just playing she-devil’s advocate here, but maybe it’s not fair for you to assume that all the women in this office want you to make passes at them.
