Traditional

A weekend where a large group of aging men get together to play too much golf, drink too much booze, do too many drugs, hit on too many girls, creep out girls who are way too young, sleep with girls who are way too fat, and just act like overall degenerate scrum bags. Only to return home on Sunday, kiss their wives, girlfriends, and/or kids hello and tell them they have to go lay down, not feelings so well, must have eaten some bad fish at the fish fry last night.
I can't go to the Traditional this year, last year I almost lost my kids, my wife, my job, and my driver's license.

Traditional

Someone who lives the tradition - from the Latin tradere (to transmit, to hand over, to give for safekeeping). Has an aristocratic lifestyle (in its true sense) not necessarily belonging to the wealthier classes of society. One who is interested in autochthonous cultures, history, arts, mythologies, transcendence, philosophy, high culture, good manners, refined language, education and intellectuality. Gives enormous value to dilettantism, refinement and the aesthetics of details, is a dissident of the vulgar.
Being traditional is to keep improving and transmitting achievements and values over the years, adapting to the current reality, without losing the original essence.
