This question is for missy-ga only, as sort of thanks for her generous hospitality.

The order of the adjectives in the English language is: 
Opinion, dimension, age, shape, colour, origin, material. 

So, my question is: how come those renaissance painters are called
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
Mutant, after all, is a matter of opinion, isn?t it? And what kind of
adjective is ?Ninja?? (OK: two questions in the price of one).

Feel free to post your opinions, but this question is strictly missy?s.

Easy.

Teenage = age
Mutant (ie Mutated) = origin
Ninja Turtle (noun) = a turtle happens to be a ninja :D

for a laugh............

My guess is that "ninja turtles" is a compound noun. To put it another
way, the word "teenage" doesn't modify "turtles" but rather "ninja
turtles."

Another explanation is that an eighth place on the scale of adjective
order is "purpose" (http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:8FuqqtgnY2MJ:www.learnenglish.de/grammar/adjectiveorder.htm+order+adjectives+type&hl=en).
"Ninja" could be a "purpose" adjective.

This question was specifically addressed to Missy-ga.

Why in the world would a "commenter" answer this?
I find this most inappropriate.

My two cents.

Because PG said, "Feel free to post your opinions, but this question

I was just posting a guess; perhaps it can help Missy answer the question.

Politicalguru-ga, I hope you don't mind that I am using this space to
thank you for your kind comment! What a surprise, thank you!
Unfortunately, I cannot reply directly as the other question is closed.
