Shrink undergarment? That offers revealing glimpse! (8,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

freudian slip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'that offers revealing glimpse' is the definition.
(a Freudian slip reveals something subconscious)

'shrink undergarment?' is the wordplay.
'shrink' becomes 'freudian' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'undergarment?' becomes 'slip' (slip is a kind of undergarment).
'freudian'+'slip'='FREUDIAN SLIP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for freudian slip that I've seen before include "Unintentional error" , "Error betraying inner thoughts" , "Words revealing unconscious thoughts" , "Slip of the tongue, revealing unconscious thought" , "can be a revealing thing" .)
