Jacobian Slip

A Jacobian Slip occurs when one mishears a word or phrase and questions the misheard phrase, thus revealing something about their internal thoughts.

Like how a Freudian slip can reveal internal thoughts, but with mishearing rather than mis-speaking.
A: Yo get me two large fries and a shake after you get gas
B: You want two large guys shakin’ their ass?
A: What the fuck
B: My bad, that was a Jacobian slip
