When I hear laconic in the football sense, I think of a bloke who gets tackled a LOT." described as 'mercurial' by commentators who don't know that the word actually means "subject to sudden or unpredictable changes of mood or mind" but apply the tag to any mid-sized forward who floats in and out of games and has questionable off field ethics "
Kind of like calling a player 'laconic' which they think means laid-back in rather a nice way, when it actually means 'using few words due to lack of interest in the topic'.
