What is a Freudian slip?
I am Dr. Siggy Freud, the gynecologist of psychiatry, and this is my podcast: “You are an ID-iot.”
You ask a question and while I am waiting for my coffee to reheat, I answer it.
Today’s question: What is a Freudian Slip?
There is no such thing. As my wife will tell you, I do not wear a slip, I wear a jock strap, not that it is any of your business.
This whole Freudian Slip business began with Carl Jung, a former student of mine who still holds a grudge because I failed him in Phys. Ed.
Carl’s real name, by the way, is not Carl Jung but Carl Old. He changed it when he plagiarized my book, “Mothers: You can’t live with or without them,” which was picked up by Netflix as a mini-series. Not that I am hostile.
I will admit, however, that I resent his dismissal of my work. He says all I care about is sex and dreams. He, on the other hand, only cares about dreams of sex. In that sense, he is correct. Dreams of sex have always driven his work because he is still a virgin. Not that you heard that from me.
Enough about Carl. He should put a jock strap on and leave me alone.
Until next time, I am Dr. Siggy Freud and “You are an ID-iot.”
