To be running away from the authorities. This term dates back to the 1920's and was a part of urban slang.
"I pinched the hooch from some drugstore cowboy of a raggle-muffin and now im on the lam so you better scram or ill knock you off. Kepeesh!"

“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.

The ship name of the relationship with Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens who were so obviously gay for each other.
Oh my god, Lams is canon.
Have you ever heard of Lams? They were sooo gay.
Person A: Have you read the letters?
Person B: No.
Person A: Well Lams is totally canon, in a letter that Ham wrote to John, he said, "Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships, I wish, my dear Laurens, it might be in my power by actions rather than words to convince you that I love you."
Person B: Wow, they definitely were gay.
