Laconic

 
Laconic means crisp; brief and to the point; effectively cut short; a response so curt as to be almost rude; using as few words as possible to communicate much information; pithy and concise.

Not GB or I then!

    Well this really caught me out. I always thought laconic meant a laid back sort of approach with a dry wit. It just goes to show you.
