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.”
