From an excerpt of case study on shared psychosis
This section is describing a man after his arrest. It is entitled, "Eléments cliniques" and it says "L’homme accusé a un contact fuyant avec des réponses défensives, plaquées et pauvres. [...] Une discordance idéo-affective et un émoussement des affects sont observés."

curt
As I understand, he only says very short responses in a harsh way. I think "curt" conveys the same idea.
Oxford dictionary describes it as "rudely brief".

: A "réponse plaquée" is often curt (a mixture of short and showing signs of irritation), but not necessarily. It may be a good option though in a particular context.
