LAMF

like a mother f-cker. also spelt l.a.m.f. and always capitalized.

although two current ud definitons have it as ‘punk’ origin and used in the 70s, it was widely used as early as the 50s in brooklyn and other areas of nyc and possibly beyond.
sometimes it accompanied tags of gangs, but mostly it was used as a postscript with tags of gang members or wannabe gang members.

it was also frequently preceeded (separated by a sp-ce) by d.t.k. = down to kill
and followed less often by tth = to the heart

like a mother f-cker
true. johnny thunders rocks and l.a.m.f. is one of his great records. however, l.a.m.f. is not punk graffiti but gang graffiti. in new york city (johnny’s home) the gang members would stray into other gangs territories where they would tag d.t.k. meaning “down to kill”, a challenge to the gang who’s turf it was. l.a.m.f. or “like a m-th-rf-cker” would be added to accentuate or validate the existing tag.

lamf was an obscene acronym used in the 1960s and onward by teenagers and other youth, sometimes to describe their gangs, though not necessarily the more violent and highly-organized gangs now existing.

the acronym might be combined with their community or other name, as kings lamf and was often written with marker pen inside subway cars in new york city.

the term stood for “like a mother f-cker” and was also used as the t-tle, in that context, alb-ms by folk-rock duo bunky and jake in 1969, l.a.m.f. and johnny thunders and the heartbreakers in 1977, l.a.m.f.
