countervail: (verb) Oppose and mitigate the effects of by contrary actions.
Synonyms: counteract, counterbalance, neutralize
Usage: I hope that my letter of apology will countervail the foolish actions of my colleagues.
Relevance to my life: The most effective way I found to countervail the idiotic words of ignorant assholes and regain a sense of equilibrium was to vent to a friend for a while. Thank God he had on his flame retardant long underwear.
I thought that the music was lame, but the dance itself was amazing with their balance and counterbalancing moves.
I also like Momix and Pilobolus.
