Help?

Hi all. So I was wondering you any of you could help me with a block for a sketch for school. So for my art class at school we have a weekly sketch and we have to base it off of a word my art teacher gives. Sooo this weeks word is Brusque meaning Abrupt in a manner; blunt; rough. And I don't know if it's because I have a cold or what but I have no idea what to draw for this. So anyone have any ideas? Thanks ^^

End
