De ahí viene la expresión "sacar la punta a algo", utilizar algo o aprovecharse de algo con fines maliciosos.
Siempre saca punta a todo lo que digo = siempre malinterpreta todo lo que digo (está pendiente de lo que digo para sacar conclusiones equivocadas). |

También he visto como sinónimo de sacapuntas: tajalápiz, y coloquialmente, llamarle un taja.

En España también se usa la palabra "afilalápices" para designar el mismo instrumento.
@chileno: En España a gente así la llamamos de otra manera que tiene algo que ver con las flores antes de que se desarrollen del todo |
