A couple of years ago, I started using the term "Freudian Lisp" to describe when closeted gay men say unintentionally, though revealingly, gay things. The beauty of the phrase is that it is succinct and self-explanatory: use it immediately after the phenomenon in question and everybody, including people who have never heard the term before, will know what you mean.
I have never seen the phrase in any publication or heard anyone else use the term, so I'm fairly certain that I've created something new. I love the idea that it is still possible to contribute something original to the world, something that the millions of other monkeys at their typewriters have never thought of. I sent my new term to UrbanDictionary.com -- which, true to form, did not have such an entry -- and will let you know if it gets published.
UPDATE I
Urbandictionary.com finally posted my definition! If you like the term, visit the site and give it a thumbs up.
UPDATE II
A hilarious example of a Freudian Lisper is Tobias Funke, the self-proclaimed "anal-rapist" ("analyst" + "therapist") from "Arrested Development." Watch through the last clip, when Tobias tapes himself to see why his family thinks he has an odd way with words:

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
