Vaginas

Vaginas, or a woman’s sexual organ, is referenced across the film in quite a few ways,

Euphemstically and Idiomtatically in the pantry as tang, clams (which could also just be a euphemism for money, but it’s both.. so it’s both.)

Jack refers to Wendy as “the old sperm bank upstairs”, eyes down a blonde woman while touring the bedroom, embraces and kisses a naked blonde woman (who turns out to be a grotesquely aggressive dead elderly woman), pornographic images of women show up in garages, the Boiler room, and Halloran’s condo, and symbolically in the lamps and woodwork.

The sexual slang reading of clams connects money, ownership, and the casual sexualization of women.
