“Galore”, as in “prizes galore” (or maybe even “loanwords galore”) which means “to repletion” comes from Scots Gaelic, and (it sez here) is the only adjective in English that properly precedes the noun. :’)

OK, wait a great big, fat, funky, blinkin', stinkin', snaggle-toothed, pink and purple polka-dotted, mean. green, sandwich-eating minute. Are you SURE about that?
