    I had a friend who would always light his first cig backwards after a good clam bake.

      Huh I never knew this was a “hot box” phrase, I always heard it as the female equivalent of a “sausage fest” i.e. a social gathering dominated by women

        Clambake has always meant smoking weed in an enclosed space to me, typically a car. See also: fishbowl

          Nah, that’s a hotbox. Unless you’re a woman and only smoking with other women. Then it would be a clambake hotbox.

            Plenty of people, at least at one time, used clambake to refer to a hotbox. “Clambake weed” returns plenty of results, although it does appear the inverse sausagefest definition is more popular. Why can’t it be both?
