If you were in police custody, you would not be considered on the lam.

Blunder refers to a careless or clumsy mistake. Fumbling, which means to handle something clumsily or awkwardly, is the word that closely relates to blunder.

The word "valve" refers to a structure that closes a temporary passage of liquid in one direction.
