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

Answer 1

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

"Freudian Slip" is a slip of tongue resulting from an involuntary thought in the mind (pre-occupied) of the person who is talking. See this example of which I was a witness.

A coed of mine was talking about how she was “embarrassed” in a situation etc. etc. and the next sentence was to start with the name of her new found lover. It went like this

“blah blah blah… You can imagine my condition, blah blah I was oh so totally embraced and then I saw Jake coming towards me….”

The mind tricked her in to using the word “embraced” in the place of “embarrassed” as her mind was pre-occupied with Mister Jake and not her embarrassment of which she was talking about.
