The verb "rebuff" is used in the English language to describe the act of rejecting or refusing someone or something in a sharp or abrupt manner. It conveys a sense of firm denial or dismissal, typically in response to an advance, request, or offer. The term emphasizes a strong and often definitive rejection, suggesting a clear and decisive communication of refusal. "Rebuff" is commonly used in contexts where the rejection is not only immediate but also somewhat brusque or harsh, making it distinct from gentler forms of denial.
