Knobbly Monsters

Journalists love nothing more than a good "knobbly monster" - a desperate attempt by a hack not to use the same word again . . . when there is only one. Named after Paul Hudson, who was writing about alligators when, having used up "reptiles", he resorted to "the knobbly monsters".

Here are some more of my favourite funny newspaper knobbly monsters ...
