AND A FINE DAY TO YOU SIR! Hillary Clinton: Parapraxis Personified
Go
Was the Cruz ad accusing Rubio of dissing the Biblein front of evangelical Christians a parapraxis of the campaign spokesperson, or a deliberate lie? That is the question in front of the voters.
Now, in the example they say ‘unconscious’. To me, that means asleep, knocked out. I would use the term “subconscious”. I’ve seen this discussed several times, and I still am not convinced “unconscious” is ever the right term in this context.
I tell myself it must be parapraxis when she is screaming some other guys name.
One of the incriminating facts is
Hillary deceives with parapraxis
“Nothing classified” implies
“It should have been,” her lies
Are a sure thing, just like death and taxes
AND A FINE DAY TO YOU SIR! Hillary Clinton: Parapraxis Personified
One of my favorite jokes involves a parapraxis:
A man is standing in line at the ticket counter in his local airport when he suddenly notices that the girl at the counter has the largest breasts he has ever seen. Transfixed, he continues to stare at her chest while the line moves forward. Finally, he reaches the front of the counter. Upon being asked his destination, he asks the girl if he could could please have two pickets to Titsburgh. Horrified at what he’s just said out loud, he stammers his way through an apology, and hurries to catch his flight.
All through the flight, he can think of nothing but what he said to the ticket girl, and his distress continues all through the following day. The guilt finally consumes him, and he has to tell somebody what happened. He blurts out his story to one of his friends over lunch. “Can you believe I said two pickets to Titsburgh?” He asks? “Sure,” replies his friend. “It’s called a parapraxis, a slip of the tongue. I do them all the time. In fact, just the other day over coffee I tried to ask my wife to pass the sugar, and what came out was, “You ruined my life, you f***ing bitch!”
He may have suffered parapraxis — he must have meant “prissy.”
