4 | On the one hand there's the FreudianSlip, where a character means to say thing A but says thing B by accident, likely because B reflects on what is really on their mind. |
5 | |
6 | But in this case, a character says thing B on purpose, and "pretends" (whether as a matter of deceptive intentions or just sarcastically) that it was an accident. Basically, this is for when a character wants to openly express the kind of thing that a character who makes a FreudianSlip is trying to keep to themself. |

45 | * In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy,'' people kept [[AccidentalMisnaming accidentally]] calling Principal Goodvibes "Mr. Good[noun]."

51 | * Creator/{{Cicero}} used this in his speech in defense of Caelius, who had been accused of several crimes by his ex-lover Clodia. Clodia was the sister of one of Cicero's bitterest political enemies, and it was rumored there was a BrotherSisterIncest relationship among the siblings. In his speech, Cicero said at one moment: "And, indeed, I would do so still more vigorously, if I had not a quarrel with that woman's husband -- brother, I meant to say; I am always making this mistake." |
52 | * During the UsefulNotes/CivilRightsMovement, speakers on television sometimes said [[UsefulNotes/MartinLutherKingJr Martin Luther King]]'s name by replacing "King" with a racial slur, then correcting themselves. It was obviously this trope in action. |
