Can't Keep It In

Having strayed somewhat from my original field of academic study, I am heartened to find that remnants of knowledge can still be accessed via online pottering.

Case in point: Another wholly legitimate offering
from uncyclopedia, this one pertaining to the infamous
Freudian Slip.



History

A Freudian slip is a thin undergarment used by men who suffer from an odd feel at social occasions. It is essential that the slip is worn under a shirt, next to the skin & secured tightly in the trouser department. Most slips are made from simple white cotton, though some are festooned with pricks. 

The slip is believed to endow its wearer with a sense of purpose & authority, so they can deal with complex business tackle & suck on a cheroot without feeling like a spare cog on a loose tool. The main drawback of the slip is a tendency to poke out at delicate moments, causing indiscretion & terror among any companions who are not securely tied down & hammered. Slip wearers therefore tend to be vulnerable without protection in the heat of the moment. This root error can be come over by perverting the mind with absorbing athletic activity.

The Freudian slip is named after the Viennese mental doctor, Sigmund Freud. He had a eureka moment during an entanglement with a patient one lunch time. Freud wrote:
 
I began zee the session, as I do with all my victims, by asking Mr. X to remove his trousers & tell me his dreams. Mr. X did so, but was shy & tried to hide behind one of my large Buddhas. After some probing in a dark area, I discovered that a woman's undergarment was tucked neatly inside Mr. X's johdpurs. I found zee his slip to be somewhat revealing of his intentions. Mr. X immediately grabbed hold of a sturdy rain rod & ran out of the building. I remember, oddly enough, that it wasn't raining at the time.
 

Demographic

Freudian slips are most popular in the well developed world & have been since the 1960's, when President Kennedy wore one to Berlin for his famous announcement about being a donut. Slip parties were soon all the rage on the once proud continent. Bearded men & women would congregate together wearing nothing but their Freudian slips & a smile. These conjugations were most popular in Holland, which had always been famous for its liberal attitude to clothing, facial hair and personal hygiene.


Causes

Scientists all over the world are working around the cock to discover the reason why so many chapped fellows would want to discomport themselves in women's under carriages.


This fellow has got it all wrong 
and his sensibly coiffured ladyfriend 
is secretly laughing at him.
