Definitions by 6lookingfora9

Slang for something cool, awesome, or impressive. A phonetic shortening of "sick," used the same way you'd drop letters in "thx," "lmao," or "bc." Popularised in the early 2000s partly through Slipknot's 1999 self-titled track "(sic)," after which fans began using it to express admiration or say "stay cool." Now used more broadly in casual texting and online conversation.
Similar vibes to: dope, fire, lit, rad.

Not to be confused with the Latin editorial term sic, used in journalism to flag intentional typos in quoted text. This sic hits different.
"ur new setup is absolutely sic"
"Yo that's sic af"
