1. 1

    If a person is brusque, they use very few words, and the short, sharp way they speak or act feels rude, even when they are only trying to be quick. A brusque answer might be “No. Next.” — correct, but hard. It is about manner, not about using bad words. The word sounds a little formal; you meet it in books, news, and careful speech more than in playground talk. A doctor in a hurry, a boss with no time, a stranger who does not smile — people call them brusque. Though actually, some people are brusque without meaning harm; they think they are being clear. Others hear it as cold. That gap is the whole point of the word.
