Temat: Freudian slips

I can't help noticing Freudian slips during my Business English classes. Sometimes I wonder if those mistakes actually reflect problems from the students' personal lives ;)

Some samples:

A male credit analyst, unhappily married:
"The group meeting took place in the bedroom" (boardroom)

A senior negotiator with a major real estate company, currently a first-time mother:
"The new skyscaper will have the shape of a huge oral tower" (oval)

A female PA, single:
"I fok a lot" (thought)

A risk analyst & prospective spinster:
"We must look after the child" (customer)

Another lady:
"I must see this clap" (club)

And finally me:
"It's really impotent" (important) [and that DOES NOT reflect a problem!!!]

Any similar observations?

Still, my funniest slip of the tongue was "prawdopodobly".Adam Lipiński edytował(a) ten post dnia 26.06.08 o godzinie 15:05

The Japanese have a real "gift" when it comes to translations. Now, the so called "Engrish" takes it prime in video games, trust me.

I don't have a pic at the moment, so you'll have to believe me on this classic:
Samurai Shodown 2 game intro - "Long long ago there were a man who try to make his skill ultimate"

I've shed manly tears. :)
