DEVIL’S ADVOCATE
This is a phrase which describes a person
who argues the less accepted viewpoint,
simply for the sake of argument.
This expression originated in the
Catholic church where an official was
appointed to critically examine evidence
and argue against someone’s elevation
to sainthood. For example, you can say,
“Jenny believes in global warming; she
was just playing devil’s advocate, arguing
that it doesn’t exist.”
