Does that mean full of feces ?
Of course. I see you understand what sic means. ^_^
TDD
I don't think *you* understand what it means, Dufas. It's used when
quoting someone else's errors verbatim, not as an editorial wink about
your own intentional misspellings.
Not so, my studies taught me differently. ^_^
Adverb:
1:Intentionally so written (used after a printed word or phrase)
World English Dictionary
sic (sɪk)
€” adv
so or thus: inserted in brackets in a written or printed text to
indicate that an odd or questionable reading is what was actually
written or printed [Latin]
Here are sources of the meaning and usage:

I will gladly stand corrected if you can prove me wrong. I like to
learn, something I've enjoyed my hole[sic] life. ^_^
