What are freudian slips?
11 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Errors of speech: Freud noted that sometimes people say things "accidentally" that really have relevance and meaning to a situation, revealing what a person is thinking without intending to do so. For example, imagine you see some with a *huge* nose who is wearing a rose. You mean to ignore the one and complement the other but instead say, "what a gorgeous nose." the unconscious is sneaking through.

Always embarrassing: A freudian slip is a fumbled bit of speech that expresses something we would be embarrassed to say otherwise. They possibly reveal thoughts that are hedged about with the anxiety that they might be spoken--and then we do. "nice to beat you, " smiles a woman when she meets the ex-girlfriend of her husband.
