The correct phrase is "on the lam."


The origins of this phrase are a bit murky, but there are a few theories:

• Old Norse Origin: The most likely origin comes from the Old Norse word "lam" meaning "to beat or cripple." This suggests someone is running away to avoid punishment or consequences for their actions.
• Prison Break: Some suggest a connection to the 16th-century slang "to take a lam" which meant escaping jail.
• Misheard Expression: Another theory is that the phrase could be a mishearing of "on the land," referring to someone staying out of sight and moving across the land.

It's important to note that the phrase has no connection to actual , the animal!

I don't think I've ever heard that phrase. But hey, I learned something today! Maybe Ceedee Lamb will commit a crime so Lamb can be on the Lam

You would fake injuries to get more money out of someone than what is actually reasonable and commit insurance fraud because the other guy is loaded?

Stand up dude right there.

Loochy, every time you break out that shtick it besoms more original and funny in your own head.

Go away, loser. Or at least find a new unfunny and unoriginal shtick to bore us with.

However, I hear temper tantrums can be healthy as opposed to holding it all in so roll with it maybe.

OK, this thread made me wonder if I am being dismissive about this not being a big deal. Well, now that I have looked into statistics in Dallas.... it isn't a big deal. This occurs ALL the time there. In fact, Dallas averages 97 to 147 car accidents a day and 39% of those accidents involve injury or death. Specifically, accidents like this happen 64 times a day in Texas (speeding 25+ or more over the limit)... I have included the statistics below if you like copy pasta

According to TX DOT, the top crash-contributing factors across Texas in 2022 were:

Failure to Control Speed (too fast for conditions), causing 136,165 crashes, including 577 fatal crashes and 42,738 causing injuries.
Unsafe Speed (driving faster than 25 MPH over the posted speed limit), causing 23,633 crashes, including 457 fatal crashes and 8,297 injuries.
Speeding (driving over the posted speed limit), causing 2,599 crashes, including 299 fatal crashes and 1,627 injuries.
Driver Inattention (distracted driving), causing 84,887 crashes, including 332 fatal crashes and 24,943 causing injuries.
Unsafe Lane Changes, causing 45,833 crashes, including 91 fatal crashes and 8,558 causing injuries.
Failure to Drive in Single Lane, causing 45,632 crashes, including 830 fatal crashes and 13,194 causing injuries.
Failure to Yield Right of Way to Oncoming Traffic When Turning Left, causing 35,674 crashes, including 23 fatal crashes and 14,670 causing injuries.
Failure to Avoid a Collision, causing 21,735 crashes, including 273 fatal crashes and 7,451 causing injuries.
Following Too Closely (rear-end collision), causing 20,681 crashes, including 11 fatal crashes and 6,191 causing injuries.
Driving Under The Influence of Alcohol, causing 15,402 crashes, including 714 fatal crashes and 6,618 causing injuries.

Rape happens all the time... still a big deal.

Murder happens all the time... still a big deal.

Breaks ins happen all the time... still a big deal.

Robbery happens all the time... still a big deal.

Assault happens all the time... still a big deal.

Dude is lucky he didn't have kids or it would be a "sins of the father" type situation and they would have to be killed too.

No, but this thread should.

Seriously, **** all the way off with this bullshit. Rape, murder, break ins, robbery, and assault all have a victim that is severely afffected by these actions. Nobody was seriously injured/affected due to Rice and his friends being stupid.

Lone... I need you to go back and re-read the post I replied to. In case it eludes you I'm still gonna break down my response.

The statement that was made was that it "wasn't a big deal" because "it happens all the time". The point I am making is that "it happens all the time" doesn't reduce the seriousness of anything. I'm not directly comparing those things to what happened with Rice. I'm pointing out that how often it happens has no bearing on how serious things are.

Hope that helped.

They're just trying to figure out whether it's lethal injection or the chair.

Car accidents are not a big deal. Your false equivalency isn't either... even though you made it but then said you didn't make it.

Yes ma... this was your normal run of the mill missed a stop sign and bumped fenders.

Yes... I am totally making murder and what Rice did equivalent. That makes far more sense that what I stated.

WTF?

Schtick? What schtick?

I had never heard that phrase before. Now I have, plus I know its origin.

Maybe it's hard to believe, but just because I think you are a moron sometimes doesn't mean I think you are a moron all the time. I can still engage you in a normal conversation, and that's what I was doing there.
