Sic

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"

(sic) 

Used when quoting someone directly (usually in newspapers) and placed after the person being quoted makes a spelling error. The journalist/writer inserts (sic) to inform the reader that they aware of the spelling error but left it that way as to keep the quote verbatim

This is usually used for written quotes ie. letters

"Dear Mum, I want to no (sic) how you have been"

Said in Context

*sic* 

Latin, "thus"; used to indicate that an error in the original has been replicated in a quote.

When you're quoting someone else, and the original includes an error (spelling, fact, conception) it may be necessary to assure readers that (a) you noticed the error and (b) it is not yours, but that of the person you're quoting. Since it is a Latin expression, it needs to be italicized, and in the Urban Dictionary this means enclosing it in asterisks.

His columns are full of brilliant insights such as this one:

"World War II erupted at Munich *sic* in 1941 *sic* because President Roosevelt *sic* was too weak-kneed to stand up to Hilter *sic*."

The man should not be allowed to go about unattended, let alone publish newspaper columns.
