This awesome movie where
Al Pacino plays the Devil and owns everybody in New York City, but more importantly is taking his gangster roles in
Scarface and The
Godfather to a greater level of sophistication.

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.
Example:
-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.
