counterexample.
Statement:
If an animal is a bird then it can fly.
Counterexamples:
A penguin or emu. These are both animals that are birds, but they cannot fly.
A counterexample, is sort of a "negative example" -- an example of something that counters (disproves) the statement.

Say you have a conditional statement P implies Q.
You find a counter example where P is true but Q is false.
