EN: contrarian; disagreeable
That one person in the group chat who, when everyone says "Let's eat at Jollibee!", will suddenly say "How about McDo?". They're not necessarily being mean, they just love playing the devil's advocate or have a natural instinct to go against the flow. The ultimate KJ (Kill Joy) or "kontrabida" of the barkada.
Mula sa unlaping "pa-" (nagpapakita ng paraan) + "kontra" (mula sa Espanyol na 'contra', nangangahulugang 'laban').
ROOT MEANING: against, anti-, versus
