Exactly what is the definition of a "Freudian Slip" .?

Answer 1

A "Freudian Slip" is when you're subconsciously thinking of something, but accidental say it out loud.

Answer 2

It used to mean just a mistake of recall when speaking, and replacing the word with a similar, albeit different word. However, that general definition is a bit antiquated. Today the definition is a lot more specific; it pretty much just means when you accidentally say something sexual, or that can be perceived as sexual, in place of the thing you actually meant to say.

The Titsburgh from above would be correct ONLY as a Freudian Slip.

Meant to say "Pittsburgh" but said "TITsburgh" instead.

It IS NOT, however, a Spoonerism. A spoonerism is a accidental switching of phonemes or morphemes that begin a syllable in a word.

Example would be Bittspurgh. when you meant to say Pittsburgh.

Or Yuck Fou.

The Name is said to be accredited to A William Spooner, who was an oxford professor and notorious for accidentally saying them that it was named after him.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

"I would like two pickets to Tittsburgh"

Actually, a Spoonerism, but the underlying Freudian mammariphile gaffe is unmistakable.

Freud postulated that all language used in male/female interactions had sexual overtones. Thus, any language that a male used with a female, be it conscious or unconscious in choice, had a lot to do with how sexually attracted to her he was.

Or how much boob she was showing. The experts are still debating.

A Freudian Slip, nowadays, does not exist. We are not as repressed as 19thC Vienna.
