slang A vinyl phonograph record, the black, shiny appearance of which resembles that of black licorice candy. I used to love working in the record store, flipping through all the licorice pizza and chatting to people about different bands they like. I sold my licorice pizza collection in college to help make ends meet, but not a day goes by that I don't regret doing it.

slang A clarinet. He says this old licorice stick belonged to some guy called Artie Shaw, but I have no idea who that is. Man, I haven't played the licorice stick since I had my tonsils out last year.
