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.

*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.
