Do you believe in Freudian slips?

Question

Have you ever said or did something that you belived was a Freudian slip?

Answer 1

Absolutely I do. When I worked in the copy center at Staples, I meant to ask a guy if I could see his disk. Well, "disk" came out as another word.... I've had quite a few experiences like that.

Answer 2

Aaaaaaah, funny you should ask this -- as today I was reminded of the ultimate "freudian slip" joke, which I will share with you here, as proof that there are indeed, freudian slips. (and yes, I am certain old freud himself let a few pass his lips as well.)

3 priests are in a train station, enroute to Pennsylvania. They were a newly ordained priest, a middle aged pastor, and an old cardinal in a wheelchair. The young priest wanted to make a good impression, so he offered to go buy the tickets. Behind the window, sat a gorgeous, shapely woman, wearing a see-thru top & nothing underneath. The young priest became quite flustered, and sputtered, "Um, ma'am, me & my fellow priests are going on a trip & need.....(breathing heavily now).... 3 pickets to Tittsburgh please!" Oh, he was mortified! Couldn't believe what he had said, and hurried off with the tickets, forgetting to get his change. He told the others what he had witnessed, and the pastor shook his head in disgust, and offered to go get the change and have a word with the sinful lady. When he got to the counter, he saw the woman and now the pastor began to breathe heavily. Then, he carefully explained that his "fellow priest just bought tickets and forgot his change" "Oh yes, I recall him" the lady said -- how would you like your change? To that the pastor blurted out "Nipples & Dimes please!" Ye Gods, was he embarrassed, and scurried back to the others to report to the cardinal that it was worse than he had imagined. To that the cardinal decided to go up and have a word with the woman himself, after all she must be quite sinful to upset 2 members of the clergy! So he wheeled himself over to the booth, saw the lady & said: "why young lady, what you are wearing is just so sinful....(breathing heavily now) why, why, why when you go to heaven, st. finger will point his peter at you!

And that is why I know that freudian slips exist! ;)

Answer 3

Yes I definitely believe in them. I see them a lot on late night talk shows. They're always saying, "Oops that was a Freudian Slip!" Yours was really subtle. Once I called my first husband the name of the man I was having an affair with. He just got a horrible, sad look on his face. I think he knew. Anyway, I am now happily married to the affair man. In fact , we're celebrating our 30th anniversary in July. Everyone: Aaawwww. May I just get on my high horse for a second, and speak from personal experience since the divorce rate is so high. "On the day you get married, there should be NO doubts." Thank you.

Answer 4

Yes, Freudian slips are real. They happen when your mind is working fast and you are talking slower than you are thinking -- then the "truth" comes out as a blurted "mistake."

Answer 5

That's like asking if you believe in the color blue!

its scientifically proven to exist. it is simply the superego breaking through the ego. so if someone makes a freudian slip, they are revealing their true thoughts from deep within them, embarassing as it may be.

Answer 6

One time I became upset with this young person (male). I was fussing at him and at the end of my sentence I ended it by saying..."you little fruit !"

The guy clearly had effiminate qualities, but for me to be sooo caustic in putting him down was uncalled for in our discussion.

I mean it literally flew out of my mouth, because it was what I had already thought of him.

As a man thinketh...so is he (meaning women too). I've always thought about that and how I must have affected him. Did I apologize? Very quickly, but I still let him know I was upset with him.

Peace Out.

Answer 7

I believe as Freud did that man wants to go back to where he came from. That is the reason body is conditioned to give tactile stimulation when we suck the breast even though there is no milk. The mor earoused we are the harder we suck. Given the chance we would minaturise ourself and go for a tour inside the woman.

Answer 8

.NO - If you say it it is generally how you feel. If you choose to blame it on a Freudian slip you are probably in Fredian denial

Answer 9

Yes, I think we all have said things that we had not meant to say or that we were thinking. I also use the wrong word in writing that has nothing to do with the meaning but may have a subconcious meaning for me. You can us FSs to discover what you are really thinking.

Answer 10

Had a Jungian pushup bra once. Mic Jagger threw it into the audience at a Stones concert and I caught it in the 4th row. Oh man, did the crowd give me a beating...
