What is the meaning of sic?

modstar @modstar (9605) • Philippines 28 Apr 09

I keep seeing the word sic on some articles but i really don't know what it means. Is it some sort of a disclaimer if in case the grammar is wrong? Or it has a more important meaning to it? Please enlighten me about it so...

aprilj1231 I do not have a BluRay player. I am a gadget junkie, but I just don't see the purpose in having something that requires me to replace all my dvd's and pay more for them. I am also thrifty too though. I guess for now I'll just stick with the regular old plain...
