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".

Australian man: the working-class barbecue-lover (News of the World)
Igloo: the sub-zero dwelling (The Sun)
Lemon: the zesty yellow fruit (The Sun)
