This particular form of the "gaffe" or "slip of the tongue" is properly referred to as a "Freudian slip."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freudian_slip

"A Freudian slip, also called parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that occurs due to the interference of an unconscious subdued wish or internal train of thought. The concept is part of classical psychoanalysis. Classical examples involve slips of the tongue, but psychoanalytic theory also embraces misreadings, mishearings, mistypings, temporary forgettings, and the mislaying and losing of objects."
