NYOKKI-RI にょっきり
Meanings
The appearance of something long and slender standing out and towering or extending high.
Examples
・Tsukushi (Japanese hornwort) is sprouting.
つくしがにょっきり芽を出している。
・The high-rise stands tall and towering.
高層ビルがにょっきりとそびえている。
・If you make Mom angry, she will grow horns and turn into an ogre.

Dogmatic Opinion
The shape is elongated.
Absolute slenderness, length, and height are less relevant and more relative.
Mushrooms, bamboos and other plants tend to be “Nyokkiri”.
