Hello Philllip,
This section from Lolita offers the closest thing to a suggestion of the
"lay low" pun that i am aware of.
I now think it was a great mistake to move east again and have her go
to that private school in Beardsley, instead of somehow scrambling across
the Mexican border while the scrambling was good so as to lie low for a
couple of years in subtropical bliss until I could safely marry my little
Creole [...]
(Part 2, Chapter 3)
The play on words you speak of, i suspect, has had a long history
reappearing as a standard undergraduate "joke", and is again being
resurrected.
Regards,
Clifford Davy.
