pointy

An object or shape that has sharp corners and ends is pointy.

You'll often hear people describing things as pointy when they notice something sharp. For example, "This pencil lead is really pointy" means it's thin at the end. When someone says a mountain peak is pointy, they're saying it has steep, narrow sides that come together at the top. Some toys are intentionally made to be pointy for fun, like tiny stars or arrows in games. You might also notice people using this word to describe fashion trends, especially about shoes: "Those boots have really pointy toes." In general, when we say something is pointy, it means it has a sharp edge or a narrow tip that sticks out.
