curtness
This term describes a specific type of brevity that is perceived as dismissive or lacking in politeness. While being concise is generally a positive trait in professional communication, curtness carries a negative connotation, implying a lack of patience or a desire to end an interaction abruptly.
In social interactions, it is often contrasted with warmth or tact. A person exhibiting curtness is not merely being efficient with words but is using brevity as a tool of social distance or a signal of irritation.
