What does BRUSK mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Short and abrupt in manner, also spelled brusque.
Someone described as brusk speaks or acts in a short, no-nonsense way that can come across as rude even when no rudeness is intended. The spelling brusk is simply a variant of the far more common brusque, both ultimately borrowed into English from French. Writers reach for the word to describe a curt greeting, a clipped answer or an abrupt manner that leaves little room for small talk. A brusk manner is not necessarily unfriendly, just efficient to the point of seeming cold.
