Firstly, thanks for starting this thread.
Back to topic -
Isn't that just a dead giveaway? You would have thought a normal parent would say
"...the searches were directed at finding a missing *child*, and not a *body*. The latter implies finding the *dead* as in *remains*.
This should really be a one-liner for the forensics linguistic thread.
And, then...this --
We Will do EVERYTHING to find you, sweetheart. May God, Mary and the Angels protect you
until that time".
What time? Strange thing to say, NO?

A dead giveaway indeed. Freud would have a fieldday with these one-liners and other hick-up and slips ...

I'm posting a longer version of this in Forensic Linguistics.

A Freudian slip is where you want to say one thing and you say your mother.

I find this a to be a real red flag if ever there was one. On the surface what Gerry said sounds 'odd' to put it mildly anyway but I also find it more than that due to something a friend once told me.
This friend volunteered for some time as a counsellor to the bereaved for a well known agency. She was fully qualified for this role and had trained as such whilst she worked as a nurse. She once told me that the hardest cases were, naturally, bereaved parents. The thing that stuck in my mind was that she said that the worst thing anyone could ever say to a bereaved parent was " well at least you have your other children". By implication she was saying that to parents all their children are equally precious, losing one is as bad as losing all of them. There isn't anything worse.
Now, I don't have kids (sadly) but I can imagine this is entirely how you would feel as a parent simply 'losing' one child, no matter in what circumstances.
This is why this sticks out for me...its just not right

Re: Team McCann One - liners with references
Yes Springersarefab, it is similar to saying we will just have to have another child now. You cannot replace your lost child, he is an individual.
If your handbag is robbed and found later with all contents except cash still intact, one might say it could have been worse they could have taken everything in the bag.
I wonder do the McCanns ever sit down and listen to what they have said in the past. Perhaps if they did, they might actually start to see why there are people who find what they say unbelievable.

OT it reminds me of someone, long long time ago, trying to explain to me what a Freudian slip of the tongue is and gave an example: A man, who fancies his neighbour, has invited her to come over in the afternoon for a drink. She arrives at the moment he's carrying a bin bag out onto the street and says to her: "Do go in and lay down. I'll be with you in a minute."

Not strictly a one-liner, but lifted from an earlier post:
From the book:
"These dogs had never been used in Portugal before, and he (Ricardo Paiva) knew little more
about them, either, than I did".
unquote
On the face of it it looks like a stupid statement, but linking Portugal, PJ ignorance and 'never been used' - creates exactly the impression desired by TM.
My car seems to work fine in different countries and although I can't speak for dogs, my cats were functioning brilliantly in southern France.

Very very very stupid statement to make.
