"No matter what I propose, Sarah always has to take the opposite stance. She's such a contradictorian."
"Trying to plan a group trip with a contradictorian is impossible—they’ll shoot down every idea just to make things difficult."
"Dave isn’t just opinionated; he’s a full-on contradictorian. If I say the sky is blue, he’ll argue it’s ‘more of a cerulean-gray’ just to be difficult."
"I swear, my boss is a professional contradictorian. If I say we should speed up the process, he’ll tell me to slow down. If I suggest slowing down, suddenly efficiency is key."

Literally every, fucking definition on this site.
You: Bloody hell, that definition on Apple said child labour but when you clicked on the word it said it, was, good. The definition painted child labour in a bad way but the first said it in a good way. That’s contradictory.
