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".

Epilepsy: the potentially fatal muscle-twitching condition (News of the World)
Detonator: the 19th-century igniting dynamo (News of the World)
Alastair Campbell: Blair's no-nonsense Downing Street mouthpiece (The Sun)
