Some of your words are typically hyphenated under British english variants.

co-founder
night-life
fund-raiser

There maybe more. American english variants tend to drop the hyphen in these words. See the traditional Oxford English dictionary for example.

That said, contrarian, and misdemeanour should be there. And shambolic appears to be more British slang that is not found in most US wordlists.
