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 of my all-time favourite funny newspaper knobbly monsters ...
Darth Vader: The heavy-breathing turncoat Jedi (James Clench, The Sun)
The Vatican: The Pope's Italian base in Rome
Viagra: The trouser-bursting tablets (Jamie Pyatt, The Sun)
Santa: The red-jacketed festive gift-bringer
Jason Donovan: The one-time Ramsay Street Romeo (The Sun)
