While I can't pinpoint the difference (and have no clue what TTBOMK is
supposed to mean) I don't think they are always substitutable. I can't
imagine someone saying "The train is 5 minutes lagged".

FWIW I agree with that, IMO at least lag has a more negative meaning
which would not make much sense here.
