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 ...
Squirrels: The bushy-tailed little nut-eaters
Goat: The elderly, cloven-hooved nanny
Pretzel: The brittle or chewy glazed, usually salted, slender bread often shaped like a loose knot
Tomato ketchup: The runny red favourite
