I have been accused of being succinct! Can you believe that? I'm pretty sure it constitutes an insult. The nerve of some people, saying someone is succint just because on occasion they deliver concise and accurate answers to convuluted questions. They needn't get insulting about it. It's not like I make a practice of it.

Given my New England upbringing I may be taciturn, sometimes blunt or terse, on occasion even brusque; but I am quite positive that I am not normally, nor deliberately succinct.
