I believe the answer is:

freudian slip

(Other definitions for freudian slip that I've seen before include "Words revealing unconscious thoughts" , "Slip of the tongue, revealing unconscious thought" , "It betrays unconscious desires" , "Mistake revealing hidden concerns" , "can be a revealing thing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
