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".

Here are some classic funny newspaper knobbly monsters ..

Oliver Skeete - The Rastafarian equestrian

Kentucky Fried Chicken - The fatty snack

Pheromones (Preposterous sex series) - The subtle sex perfumes
