Freudian Slip
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Freudian slip, or parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory or physical action that is believed to be caused by the unconscious mind.
Some errors, such as a man accidentally calling his wife by the name of another woman, seem to represent relatively clear cases of Freudian slips. In other cases, the error might appear to be trivial or bizarre, but may show some deeper meaning on analysis. As a common joke goes, it can be like "saying one thing, but meaning another." A Freudian slip is not limited to a slip of the tongue, or to sexual desires. It can extend to our word perception where we might read a word incorrectly because of our fixations. It is important to note that these slips are semi-conscious. This is to say that these thoughts are consciously repressed and then unconsciously released. This is unlike true Freudian repression which is the unconscious act of making something unconscious.

I've always been unsure of what the term 'Freudian Slip' really meant and I initially associated it with sex, and only sex. Tsk, stop sniggering! Anyway, Wikipedia, the trusty online encyclopedia has once again enlightened me. The phrase came to mind during a msn conversation with Weldon, when I was suddenly inspired to pose a a situational question. It didn't exactly come out the way I intended though.

Okay, okay...I'll go back to Jap Studies now.
