A "tradcath", or Traditional Catholic, is a follower of the Roman Catholic Church that does everything in their power to emphasize their affinity for Pre-Second Vatican Council life and, most importantly, aesthetics.
Tradcaths generally believe that the Second Vatican Council, or Vatican II, was either a disastrous event that led to grave consequences for the Church, or that it invalidates anything done by the Church afterwards.
Tradcaths have an strong attachment to the Pre-Vatican II Tridentine Liturgy which is conducted in Latin, and they oftentimes look down on the Novus Ordo (which is an equally valid form) and those who attend it. When they do reluctantly attend this service, they will most likely kneel to receive the Host in their mouth so that everyone else can see how traditional they are.
Tradcath men can often be seen wearing either button-up plaid shirts with khakis or their finest suit, and women may be found wearing long skirts and a veil.
In the United States in particular, tradcaths are known to put place conservative values above Church teachings. You will not see many Catholics outside of the US who have dispensationalist beliefs, despise immigrants and refugees, side with their head of state over the Pope, and are hesitant to donate to the needy.
They may choose patron Saints such as Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Sebastian who are revered for their opposition to evil and yet their loyalty to the Church and its values are paper thin.

Person 1: Get a load of that guy holding up the line for Eucharist, kneeling in his likely expensive suit.
Person 2: Oh yeah, I saw him ignore the usher as he walked past during collection.
Person 1: Gotta be a tradcath.
Person 2: Lets pray for him and for ourselves for being judgemental of his ways.

Get the Tradcath mug.It's a feature in Zoom where the host can divide the participants into randomized groups. When it comes to online school, it is the worst thing on the planet. On the surface it sounds like a decent idea, but when you have classes with only a few friends and a lot of students who you know never do any work, it's all on you to get anything done. You have to have pretty good RNG to be paired with students who will actually also do work.
Teacher: Alright guys, I'm going to be putting you guys into breakout rooms for the next five minutes.
Student A: Great, time to try and be productive for a whole five minutes while no one else does anything.
Student B: *Says nothing because he isn't even in the room*

Get the Breakout Room mug.This is what kids call you in online games, especially ROBLOX. You know that it's a kid calling you kid because ROBLOX is a kids game, and no adult with an IQ above room temperature would think calling someone a kid in a kids game is in any way a valid insult.
"Edgy" ROBLOX player: mic up kid you are scared to me ??
Person with a developed brain: Only a kid would call someone a kid in a kids game, kid.
