# My ex-husband
just returned from reading a paper at Cambridge. He brought me a jar of 'lemon curd'.

What do I do with it?

# Smear it all over his car
And then throw moths at it.

Edit: Hang on... Do you mean your ex husband or the Lemon Curd?

Edit2: Was it the daily mirror?

# Put it on toast.
Or make a lemon merangue(sic).
Or throw it at an elephant at the zoo.

# What does that "(sic)" mean?
I often see it and can never work it out.

It's something to do with "intentional" isn't it?

Ok, thanks.

# it doesn't stand for anything
It's from a Latin word.

EDIT: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic

# What word?
Am I being a little too inquisitive?

Edit: Right, thanks again.

# Spelt Incorrectly.
The person has spelt it like that for a reason.

# The best I could come up with was
"Said in context". But in so many texts, it just didn't work. It did for some though.

# more or less
used to indicate that the "misspelling" is actually how it is inteded to be spelled. often used in referencing to indicate that the author knows that something is incorrect, and wasn't the one who made the mistake.
edit - I don't think it's limited to spelling mistakes, they are just far more common than grammatical mistakes.

# Exellant (sic)
Thanks.

Ahem... was that ^ a little to predictable?

# It's used in quotations
to indicate that this is what the person actually said/wrote, but the writer knows it's wrong and is using the (sic) to basically say "Fuck off you pedants, I know this is wrong, but the dumbass used it and I have to because it's a quote. So stick your whining letters of correction up your excessively tight sphincters."
