learn_russianI am looking for a way to say in Russian the following:
"devil's advocate"
"to play the role of devil's advocate"
I understand that there is probably no direct translation for this, but I'm wondering if there is anything close to this phrase in Russian... If any one has any ideas/suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I've been going through my dictionary and I'm coming up with nothing.
Oh, and in case it isn't clear what this means in English, I define it as "to argue the opposite side (just for fun/practice/perspective) in an argument."
