'ello lol well erm ... i guess that could be ure freudian slip if those are really ure unconscious wishes, fears etc. Freud did argue that all apparently accidental happenings reveal something of the unconcious! T x

No. Now if you had said, past the 'knife' instead of salt darling whilst thinking murderous thoughts, yes.... I gather this is the source of your question ? A man arrives in his office one morning to find his colleague roaring with laughter. "What's the big joke?" the man asks. "Well" his colleague replies, "I had a hilarious Freudian slip this morning." "What's a Freudian slip?" asks the man. "It's when you mean to say something, but what comes out is what is really on your mind. So, this morning I was queuing at the train station to buy a ticket from Tooting, and I noticed that the girl behind the counter had enormous breasts. When I got to the front of the queue, I asked for a return to Titting. The girl went bright red, I went bright red and the entire queue wet themselves laughing." "Oh right" said the colleague chuckling away. The next morning, the situation was reversed and the man arrived in the office first. He was chortling away to himself when his colleague arrived. "What's so funny?" asked the colleague. "Well," replied the man, "I've had one of your Freudian slips." "What happened?" "I was sitting in the kitchen this morning, having breakfast. I looked over at my wife and instead of saying 'Pass the milk, dear' I said '**** off you fat *****, you've ruined my life'.
