A Freudian slip; an error in speech, memory, or physical action that reveals an unconscious wish, conflict, or train of thought.
From Greek 'para-' (beside/faulty) + 'praxis' (action). Freud believed every slip reveals a hidden truth — calling your teacher 'Mom' isn't random, it's your unconscious speaking!
Every time you accidentally call your teacher 'Mom' or say the wrong name — Freud says your UNCONSCIOUS is leaking through! There are no accidents in speech! Your brain is always trying to tell you something! 🧠😬
