catho m or f by sense (plural cathos)

  1. (informal) Catholic, often one who is overly pontifical
    • 2015, Alain Rémond, Que sont tes rêves devenus?, Le Seuil, →ISBN:
      Loin de toi l’idée de dénier aux cathos de droite le droit d’être de droite. Les cathos sont comme tout le monde : ils votent pour leurs idées, qu’elles soient de droite ou de gauche (ou du centre). Ce qui te déprime, ce qu’ils soient majoritairement, pour ainsi dire naturellement, de droite.
      Far be it from you to deny right-wing Catholics the right to be right-wing. Catholics are like everyone else: they vote according to their opinions, be they right-wing or left-wing (or centrist). What depresses you is that they are predominantly – naturally, so to speak – right-wing.
  2. (informal) abbreviation for Institut Catholique de Paris
