Journalists love nothing more than a good "knobbly monster" - a desperate attempt not to use the same word again . . . when there is only one.

Cod liver oil: The foul-tasting health liquid
Toffee: The chewy comestible
Santa: The red-jacketed festive gift-bringer
Prawns: The tasty sea creatures
Hand-grenade: The pineapple-shaped munition
