Freudian Grab


refers to a moment in which you hear or read something incorrectly, thus interpreting it as a dirty or s-xual statement.
my brother in law had just finished from a long night of driving and arrived at my mom’s house when we were watching the news. recently, a small child had drowned in his family pool, so the news was doing a lot of stories on pool safety – showing children running around pools and playing under the watchful eyes of their parents. mike glanced at the screen, took a moment, and started laughing. wondering why he was laughing at a story of drowning children, we asked what was so funny. the t-tle of the story was “pool dangers” and yet my fatigued bro-in-law was wondering why images of children would accompany the words “pole dancers” that he mistakenly read. this is a freudian grab.
