There is no specific word for it in my mother tongue. Imagine the situation when he meets a group of people, maybe he just met them, with few words he can start a fight among them and the turn against each other. Any word for that?
Answer
Heh, in 1960's British English, one of my favorite movies called a character like that "a real mixer". I've never heard that in everyday speech in America, though.
I can think of words like "quarrelsome" that could be used that way, but usually mean getting himself into fights instead of others.
Well, if no one else comes up with something, maybe you can bring "mixer" back into fashion. I'd love it if you did.
