Shortness in responding to someone else's attempt to communicate. Related to the German word 'kurtz' which means shortness regarding the length of something.

To me it means "short and rude". Such as if you ask directions to someone's office in a building and get a "third door on the right" with a finger pointed in the general direction instead of "Dr. Bilko? Yes, third door down in this hallway, to your right. Glad to help!"

Speaking in monosyllables, in an unfriendly way.
