Using short words (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

monosyllabic

(Other definitions for monosyllabic that I've seen before include "speaking briefly?" , "barely talking" , "Unexpansive" , "like all but the first word in this clue" , "Using only words like yes and no" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
