Journalists love nothing more than a good "knobbly monster" - a desperate attempt by a hack 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 ...
Daleks: The pepperpot-shaped trundling nasties (Jamie Pyatt, The Sun)
David Gest: The facially-challenged self-styled impresario (Lorraine Kelly, The Sun)
Cheques: The paper payment system
Kids' scooter: The lightweight aluminium transporters
Lovehearts: The fizzy message-bearing sweets
