The answers above seem correct to me.
but thinking as I find much of what Freud says, to hold little water, I'd have a pop at him.
I recon the conflicts/hangups Freud saw in others, had more to do with his own mental state, than that of his patients. If so it means much of Freud's professional life (certainly after he abandoned neurology) was one big ongoing Freudian slip

A Freudian slip is something that you say that comes out not quite the way you intended it but in doing so reveals something of your character.

Something like a nightdress Mr. Freud designed for his missus, wasn't it? Alternatively, an expression used when we say what we were thinking rather than what society believes we should say.
A lude way? Must remember that one, Chris.

It is when your subconscious mind says something your conscious mind doesn't want you to say. Such as speaking about a female in a lude way. Speaking your more animal desires.

I would add to the answer(s) above, that it often has a sexual context (as so much as Freund's 'psychology' had).
