Adjective describing
someone who is persistently argumentative and contrary; someone who
will always, always find some way to disagree with whatever you say just for the sake of it. Often associated with a
short temper and with total logical disconnect.

HELL?!
Dave: ...You're such a contramacious jerk, aren't you?
