The Devil's advocate.
No, not the movie. When someone says, "I'm just going to play the Devil's advocate here," they are pretty much saying, "I think your argument is faulty, I don't want to cause tension by telling you that, so I'm going to cover my ass with an overused term that pretty much means shit." If you really don't agree, sack up, grow some balls, and get into with me. Don't bring the Devil into it, it's you. And you are being fucking obnoxious.
Now and again someone really does just try to 'play the Devil's advocate' by creating turmoil by bringing up something whether they agree with it or not. Now that's just arguing for the sake for arguing, which is just plain stooopid.

Arguing for the sake of arguing is a most enjoyable past-time. It is not stupid. You and your faulty logic in this argument are stupid in fact. People like to argue sometimes to make sure the other party fully weighs all possible options and circumstances that might be overlooked. But hey don't get mad at me, I'm just playing devil's advocate.
