On the one hand there's the Freudian Slip, where a character means to say thing A but says thing B by accident, likely because B reflects on what is really on their mind.
But in this case, a character says thing B on purpose, and "pretends" (whether as a matter of deceptive intentions or just sarcastically) that it was an accident. Basically, this is for when a character wants to openly express the kind of thing that a character who makes a Freudian Slip is trying to keep to himself/herself.

Rachel (and then later, Ross) trying to flirt their way out of a ticket, in one episode of Friends. Note that Ross is flirting with a male police officer too. Which could work out in some cases, but doesn't here.
