84 on the lam
амер.; жарг.в бегах, спасающийся, удирающий (особ. от полиции; обыкн. употр. с гл. to be и to take)Now take one time: I had to beat it out of Chicago on the lam, because they had a warrant out for me for robbing an old preacher. (S. Lewis, ‘Ann Vickers’, ch. XXVI) — Вот возьмем, к примеру, такой случай. Пришлось мне как-то дать стрекача из Чикаго. Полиция имела ордер на мой арест за ограбление старого проповедника.
A lot of the guys took it on the lam last night, mostly the guys with women and kids. (J. Steinbeck, ‘In Dubious Batle’, ch. XIV) — В лагере стало тревожно, и многие мужчины, особенно обремененные семьей, поторопились смыться.
‘Were you ever on the lam?’ ‘That's none of your business,’ I said. ‘I write for the movies, and whether I was on the lam or not doesn't make any difference.’ (J. O'Hara, ‘Hope of Heaven’, ch. 8) — - Приходилось ли тебе самому когда-нибудь удирать от полиции? - Это не твое дело, - ответил я. - Я пишу для кино, и удирал ли я от полиции или нет, не имеет ровно никакого значения.
