Freudian Slip
Setup: I was mucking about on paper, coming up with a fun team build that used only the underused character types as primaries.
One character in there is a Me/E for whom I needed a quick spammable attack, and I picked Flare.
The thing that cracked me up was later when I saw that I spelled it 'Flair'. Tee-hee -- a Mesmer with Flair.
Okay, well, I thought it was funny.

Not exactly Freud's slip, but entertaining none the less.

hey, I'm not saying you need a specific amount of flair, just that you need more.

LADY ALTHEA
Sebedoh? Would you come here for a moment, please?
SEBEDOH
I'm sorry. I was late. I was having lunch.
LADY ALTHEA
I need to talk about your flair.
SEBEDOH
Really? I have 15 pieces on. I, uh... [shows her]
LADY ALTHEA
Well, ok, 15 is minimum, ok?
SEBEDOH
Ok.
LADY ALTHEA
Now, it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Well, like Vassar, for example, has 37 pieces of flair. And a terrific smile.
SEBEDOH
Ok. Ok, you want me to wear more?
LADY ALTHEA
Look. Sebedoh.
JOANNA
Yeah.
LADY ALTHEA
People can get a Charrburger anywhere, ok? They come to Rurikchie's for the atmosphere and the attitude. That's what the flair's about. It's about fun.
SEBEDOH
Ok. So, more then?
LADY ALTHEA
Look, we want you to express yourself, ok? If you think the bare minimum is enough, then...ok. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, ok? You do want to express yourself, don't you?
SEBEDOH
Yeah. Yeah.
LADY ALTHEA
Great. Great. That's all I ask.
SEBEDOH
Ok.
----------
EVENNIA
You know, the White Mantle have pieces of flair, but they make the Chosen Ones wear them.
----------
LADY ALTHEA
Sebedoh?
SEBEDOH
Yeah?
LADY ALTHEA
We need to talk. Do you know what this is about?
SEBEDOH
My, uh, flair.
LADY ALTHEA
Yeah. Or, uh, your lack thereof. I'm counting and I only see fifteen pieces. Let me ask you a question, Sebedoh.
SEBEDOH
Umm-hmm.
LADY ALTHEA
What do you think of a person who only does the bare minimum?
SEBEDOH
Huh. What do I think? Let me tell you what I think, Althea. If you want me to wear thirty-seven pieces of flair like your pretty boy Vassar over there, then why don't you just make the minimum thirty-seven pieces of flair?
LADY ALTHEA
Well, I thought I remember you saying you wanted to express yourself.
SEBEDOH
Yeah. Yeah. Y'know what? I do. I do want to express myself. Ok? And I don't need thirty-seven pieces of flair to do it.
[gives her the finger]
All right? There's my flair! And this is me expressing myself.
[holds up her hand]
There it is! I hate this profession! I hate this RED ENGINE GO profession and I don't need it!!

can anyone tell me why this is a Freudian Slip? its just a miss spelling?
wouldn't a Freudian Slip be a fat guy who just got insulted for being fat saying I resemble that remark instead of I resent that remark?

Yup, it's just a misspelling. But it's a misspelling that changes the meaning. Given the fact that Mesmers have armor name "Stylish", etcetera, this had a fitting meaning. A Freudian Slip is accidentally saying what your subconcious is really thinking. Or am I remembering Psych 101 wrong?
