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 (compiled by Tom Churchill of The Scottish Sun)
Mull of Kintyre: The slender 40-mile long peninsula (The Sun)
David Gray: The wobbly-headed Babylon singer (The Sun)
Dutch elm disease: The killer timber fingus (The News of the World)
