sic

Someone who is against the proposed cuts made by the current British government; applies to all sections of society in disagreement with the plans.

Abbreviated form of 'sicosnipophobic'; which is, according to the mockumentary "Rock, Paper, Scissors: The Way of the Tosser", is someone afraid of scissors.

This short form is appealing because it is monosyllabic, as well as being homophonic and alliterative with its opposite, a 'snip'; ie. someone who is /for/ the cuts. The scissors analogy fits as it has become a symbol of the proposed cuts to the budget.

Student #1: So, what to you think about this whole 'governmental budgeting' fiasco?

Student #2: What, me? Oh, I'm a sic here. A sic an' proud!

Student #1: Phew, thought you were a snip there.

Student #2: A snip? Don't be daft mate.

Student #1: Yeah, soz. Can't tell whose who sometimes..

In addition to a misspelled error, "sic" can also be used in a more casual sense. In casual text, sic could be used to represent sarcasm, a purposeful opposite of what is meant. This can be used to subtley get an unimportant opinion across as a pretense to a more elaborate opinion.

While Arnold, Stephen, and Jean-Claude are very realistic sic representations of everyday heroes, I must counter that action movies shouldn't focus so hard on developing the main character, due to the average "hero's" lack of emotion and general acting talent.
