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 ...

Pressure cookers: The useful devices for quick cooking

Brazilian: The severe bikini treatment

The Office Xmas Special: The double-barrelled festive parting shot for the Slough cleaning product salesman

Tapas: The multiple nibbles.
