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".

Paddling pool: The watery playground
Chainsaw: The whirring powertool
Hail: Large balls of the freezing ice
Gordon Ramsay: The Michelin-starred stove ace
Daleks: Plunger-armed monster
