Funny newspaper phrases

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".

Nigel Kennedy
- The lumpy-necked fiddler

Postman Pat's cat - Genial Pat's feline sidekick

Saudi Arabia - The desert kingdom

Uri Geller - The wacky mystic spoon-bender
