Drop Dead Gorgias: Is this the same as the Freudian Slip, or are they different enough to merit different trope articles? I see a lot of Freudian Slips, primarily on shows like Arrested Development and Family Guy.
Looney Toons: A Freudian Slip is, as one wag has put it, "when you say one thing and mean your mother". It is an involuntary word substitution that supposedly reveals something you don't want revealed. Whereas this entry is about deliberately changing the end of a sentence to hide what you were about to say. I think there's some small difference here. <grin>
Red Shoe: Yeah. Freudian slips are different. Related more closely to Sammy's Glass Eye than to this, I think.
Shale: Deleting the claim that Homer Simpson's "d'oh" is a swap for "damn" until somebody can prove it; all other sources I've seen say that the line is and always was scripted as "annoyed grunt," and Dan Castellaneta decided for himself what word to use.
This should link to the trope about rhymes that swap in a word that's different than you expected, and that doesn't rhyme (if that trope exists). —Document N
Georgie: I've just added a Real Life Examples section and moved the relevant examples there, in the order that they appeared on the page before I got there. Is that alright? If not, feel free to revert the page.
