piss clam

noun piss clams

informal A clam which squirts water, such as a geoduck (Panopea generosa) or a long-neck clam (Mya arenaria). Some years we dug for piss clams. Small holes showed up here and there in the wet sand at low tide. When you stepped next to one a stream of water shot up your leg and you knew a steamer was underneath.
