stirrer
Swizzle stick, essentially
A stirrer is a utensil or device for stirring—a rod, spoon, or paddle used to mix liquids: coffee stirrers, paint stirrers.
In British slang, a stirrer is someone who deliberately causes trouble or discord, especially by spreading gossip or provoking arguments: Don't listen to him, he's just a stirrer.
