The rule of adjectives in modern English is to used them before the noun. Nevertheless, there are exceptions wherein the adjective is used after the noun. These locutions normally come from French.


 * abbot general

 * adjutant general
 * agent general
 * attorney general
 * battle royal
 * brigadier general
 * captain general
 * colonel general
 * consul general
 * court martial
 * governor general
 * inspector general
 * lieutenant general
 * major general
 * notary public
 * Postmaster General
 * secretary general
 * surgeon general

Bonus:


 * treasure trove (now usually seen as substantive, hence treasure troves rather than treasures trove).
