The Latin adverb sic (pronounced [siːk]; "thus", "just as"; in full: sic erat scriptum, "thus was it written")[1] inserted after a quoted word or passage
Well, I've been using that literary technique for years now - incorrectly! I've always put the (sic) before the intentional falsity, in single quotes, and from reading up on it (due to your comment here), it seems usage is to put it after the falsity. Thank you for the correction!
