What on earth is a “laconic drawl”?

A person is ‘laconic’ if they use very few words, especially with the confrontational terseness of of unintimidated Spartans. A way of speaking counts as a ‘drawl’ if it is slow and elongated, especially when it comes to vowels. Clearly these words are pointing in different directions: one naturally thinks of a laconic speaker as employing clipped syllables, not wasting their breath on the enemy.

And yet “laconic drawl” appears to be a collocation: I found 72 results in Google Scholar, presumably in edited writing. One might conclude that the writers are deliberately trading in paradox. Maybe they’re talking about an amusing case in which a laconic speaker takes a few words and drawlingly stretches them out to the length of a normal sentence. But the examples don’t seem to fit:

• Biting into one of the 12-year-old biscuits, KerryJayne announced in her laconic drawl, “Poor John Darby, they gave the bastard stale biscuits.” [This doesn’t seem laconic at all.]
• Mr Robin Ramsay's face, now deadpan as a comedian's, now mobile and droll; his voice, with a hundred subtle modulations of its laconic drawl, were alike perfect... [This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with laconic speech.]
• Famous for his slow, laconic drawl he was quick to take on the mantle of Territory jingoism. [Here we get whiplash, as we go from ‘slow’ to ‘laconic’ and back to ‘drawl’.]
• When Snoop half-sings, in his laconic drawl, the mantra “I don’t love them hoes,” the tonal semantics do not overtly suggest a testy disavowal or fear of female sexuality. [Five may be a small number of words, but there’s obviously nothing the slightest bit laconic about Snoop Dogg’s rapping.]

Can anyone explain what’s going on here? Thanks!

EDIT: I think I’m being asked to consult a dictionary. I’ll use the OED and Merriam-Webster:

laconic (OED): 1.a. (With capital initial.) Of or pertaining to Laconia or its inhabitants, made or written in Laconia; Lacedæmonian, Spartan. Now rare. 1.b. Characteristic of the Laconians; Spartan-like. 2. Following the Laconian manner, esp. in speech and writing; brief, concise, sententious. Of persons: Affecting a brief style of speech.

laconic (M-W): using or involving the use of a minimum of words: concise to the point of seeming rude or mysterious

drawl (OED): 1. The action or an act of drawling; esp. a way of speaking slowly using prolonged vowel sounds. Now often associated with accents of the American South. 2. Slow loitering pace. rare.

drawl (M-W): a drawling manner of speaking [based on the following verb meanings: (intr.) to speak slowly with vowels greatly prolonged, (tr.) to utter in a slow lengthened tone

I think it’s clear that these dictionary entries do not resolve the question, but rather make the question more pressing.

A laconic drawl is how the Marlboro Man might talk if he had something to say: terse with a twang.

However, according to A Word a Day: 365 Words to Augment Your Vocabulary (Joseph Piercy, 2019), the word laconic is “often misused to mean laid back” rather than sparing of words:

221 Laconic
_ADJECTIVE
Laconia was a region of ancient Greece, home to the fearless Spartans. For several centuries, laconic referred to anything related to the Spartan clan. The Spartans were proud and didn’t mince their words, so became known as being rather abrupt and to the point. The modern meaning of laconic derives from this reputation and relates to terseness and a concise use of words. The word is often misused to mean laid back but it is explicitly the use of language, in either speech or written form, to which laconic should refer.

Especially when laconic and drawl collocate, it seems there’s a good chance that laconic is being used (incorrectly per dictionary defs) to intensify drawl—that is, a “laid back” way of speaking slowly using prolonged vowel sounds (See OED for drawl).

The best that can be said in defense of this usage is that sparing or omitting words could, by association, indicate laziness or laid-backness.
