A "Laconic phrase" is a very short or terse statement, named after Laconia, an area of modern and ancient Greece. Laconians focused less on the development of education, arts, and literature. Some view this as having contributed to the Laconian characteristically blunt speech. The Spartans were especially famous for their dry wit, which we now know as "laconic humour" after the region and its people. This can be contrasted with the "Attic salt" or "Attic wit", the refined, poignant, delicate humour of Sparta's rival Athens. In modern parlance, "laconic" is used to describe speech and writing which uses few words and is terse and concise.
good explanation QM, although not so laconic, hehe
Another good example for laconic was the Greek "no" to the Italian diplomatic note to surrender in 1940 or when McAuliffe was besieged in Bastogne and only answered "nuts" to the german parlametary officers.
