Journalists love nothing more than a good "knobbly monster" - a desperate attempt 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 classic funny newspaper knobbly monsters ...
Daleks - The tinny tyrants from Skaro (James Clench, The Sun)
Splinter - The lethal shard of wood (Jamie Pyatt, The Sun)
Giant squid - The long, pink lump of leathery flesh (Brian Flynn, yup it's The Sun again)
Head lice - The sesame-seed sized, six-legged parasites (Jeremy Vine, Radio 2)
Ron Davies: The wood-loving romper (Mark Bowness)
