Someone please explain this whole clam thing?

It was a typo, meant to type "back that claim up" but turned into "back that clam up"
I wish my wife would back her clam up against me once in a while.
It has two meanings:
1) As correctly described by @Fw353Om-isv
2) It also refers to running one's mouth about layoffs when no facts are known. The "clam" being the loud, diarrheal mouth of the lame-brain idiot.
I thought it originated from a typo. Someone wrote clam in place of claim in "can you back up that [claim]," regarding a layoff rumor. But maybe that's been around longer than I've been following this board.
