Go away and cry when one's bottom is pinched (5)

I believe the answer is:

scram

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'go away' is the definition.
(scramming is a kind of going away)

'cry when one's bottom is pinched' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one's' could be 'am' ('one is' can humorously mean 'I am') and 'am' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'scr' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scram that I've seen before include "Leave quickly" , "In slang, go away and beat it" , "Leave hurriedly" , "Scarper" , "Clear off!" .)
