LAMF

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 Fucker" and was also used as the title, in that context, of an album by Johnny Thunders in 1977, L.A.M.F.

In the present, some bands and individuals use the term LAMF to evoke connotations of said Johnny Thunders album and the musical milieu that gave birth to it.

LAMF is also the name of the Burden Brothers Street Team.
