On the Lam

“Lam” is an abbreviation for the term ‘low and moving’ which usually pertains to a person or person(s) hiding from the law.
When you’re on the lam,
You’re keeping a low profile, your body may be literally low to the ground just to keep from being seen by the enemy.

When the coast is clear it’s time to move on. Keep low and keep moving quietly, stealthily towards safety.

Jimmy went awol and is now on the lam from the military police.

LAMS

A word (or rather an acronym that describes somebody that has "Look At Me Syndrome" (LAMS!)

Someone who has LAMS likes to be the centre of attention and if the room goes quiet they draw attention to themselves by being silly... or leaves a room returning wearing a wig, costume or doing something to draw people to look at them.

Oh look Daniel and Andy have LAMS!
How embarrassing! How can they do that?
