ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Signorelli parapraxis

Signorelli parapraxis is when someone mistakenly says or does something that isn't what they really meant to say or do. It's like an "oops," but it's not something on purpose. For example, if you meant to say "good morning!" to your friend, but instead you said "good evening!," that would be a Signorelli parapraxis.
