      Phontics is a rabbit hole no man should delve into, it has no use in life and is literally the deepest lore on earth.

    Many legal terms come from the law frech, the anglo-norman dialect used as a courtly language after William's conquest, and continue to exist. It's like "attorney general" who is a "general attorney."

    It's called a postpositive adjective and you also see pop up in other cases like "whiskey sour," and "prrof positive."
