Unrelated, but boy howdy do I love a plural postpositive adjective
Edit: thank you for all the fun examples and discussion. Did not expect to wake up and see this many responses to a comment I put almost no thought into, I love this website
Grands Prix
I did some googling. My favorite one is musicians extraordinaire. The runner-up is eggs Benedict.
Burritos Supreme
Carne Asadas Burrito Supreme
Um it's Burritai, sweaty
I think
as far as runners up go it's a good one
indeed. i hope they bring in several attorneys general and enforce this with all the sergeants major.
Had to Google this cause my English isn't that good, and now I know something new that my brain is filing under 'why does anyone know this?'
There are very few common words/expressions that use plural postpositive adjective. To add to what NephewAlphaBravo said - "wrong" will sound right to most Americans. The average American reads at a sixth grade level.
A correct form is "attorneys general" but that's rare. The average American would say "attorney generals".

Not "correct", just formal/academic. Down with proscriptive grammar!
I'm gonna say attorneys generals and nobody can stop me
I just do it randomly for fun if the singular is a double noun. Suns day. Generals Store. It's very silly. I giggle inside.
Sergeants Major is another one that always sounded funny to me
It's pretty useless tbf, one of those things that native english speakers wouldn't even notice if you got it "wrong"
