To be accurate, most Freudian slips do not reveal ones true intention. They are merle slips of the tongue, but we all enjoy the fun of pointing out the sexual connotation. Such as: "Boy was that a Freudian-slip!"

On Thanksgiving day one might say: "What a big breast" and then blush because he is looking at someone and not at the turkey. It would only become a Freudian-slip if someone at the table were to say, "and just what were YOU looking at?"
