I’d like to apologize to all the Lindsay Lohan lovers out there for not reporting this sooner; clearly I’ve been lax. Saturday night Linds went to Crown Bar which, let’s face it, isn’t exactly breaking news. Here’s the problem: Somehow, she managed to smuggle her 15-year-old sister into the club. A club owner posing as a witness in hopes that he doesn’t lose his liquor license witness offered this account: “They stayed at the club for an hour. They were with a couple of friends. They were both happy and bubbly. Ali drank water and Lindsay drank red bull [sic] . They hung out at their table while dancing to the beats….I guess Samantha wasn’t invited. They left at 1am.”
Obviously the witness can’t discern the difference between water and, say, vodka?
Those Lohan parents just never learn, do they?
Okay…can someone tell me what “[sic]” means?
sic – so; thus: usually written parenthetically to denote that a word, phrase, passage, etc., that may appear strange or incorrect has been written intentionally or has been quoted verbatim: He signed his name as e. e. cummings (sic) – dictionary.com
It means that is verbatim what the quote says. In this case Wendie is using it to show she does not believe either girls were drinking; however, that is what the witness reported.
It’s actually part of the paragraph that wendie is using, reprinted from another source. The term sic was used to denote that the ‘r’ and the ‘b’ in Red Bull, while capitalized when written properly, weren’t capitalized in the witness’ written account, which was reprinted verbatim.
The term sic is essentially used as a way to point out that incorrect/irregular spelling/grammar/usage is not due to an editorial oversight, while giving readers the true spelling/grammar/usage of the source.
There are 2 usages
* The term sic is most often used in quoted material (usually in square brackets, and sometimes italicized) to indicate that the preceding segment of the quote was copied faithfully, in spite of a mistake or seeming mistake; that is, that the mistake or seeming mistake was in the original text, and not due to misquoting on the part of the present writer.
* It is also sometimes used outside of quoted material to emphasize that the preceding segment of text was intentionally written as is; that is, that a seeming mistake in the text is not, in fact, a mistake (or if it is, that it’s an intentional mistake).
Any other dipshit want to clip and past the meaning of [sic] so they can feel good about themself? Anyone? Surely we need a few more.
Must be a slow day in your head when you get all worked up about three people intelligently answering a query posed by a fourth on a gossip blog.
Your response: C. Your writing: C-. You should probably work on your writing.
I’ve read enough of your responses to know that sometimes you’re amusing and even insightful and often enough you’re troll-like, but I figured ‘what the hell’ about responding to you now. No skin off my back.
Thanks skeelo for pointing out that I didn’t press the “e” key hard enough when I typed “paste”. Yup I was so worked up and absolutely furious. I was angry as hell and I wasn’t going to take it any more. You described me perfectly.
We’re just all proving that we’re better googlers than Brooke.
Insert hand, remove stick.
even in a blurry, low-quality photo, you can STILL tell Ali got a boob job.
What an ignorant comment.
I had D boobs by the time I was sixteen and was almost exactly her size. Your just like some of the girl’s in high school who would say I stuffed my bra and made me incredibly insecure about my breasts.
Screeeeeeeew youuuuuuuuu
oh yeaaaah?

That link didn’t prove anything
Yeah that link, seriously, didn’t prove anything. Also, it’s not even legal for her to get implants.
Also, I myself AM sixteen and I have D cups. And girls in my high school do indeed sometimes claim I stuff my bra, in a similar thread to you.

Lindsay pissed and talking about her life..LOl
Love the hair!!!!!!
Wow they look like fun to be around at a club while they are texting all night…or in Lindsay’s case, stalking Sam on Twitter
And her being confused..Funny video JasonT
Well that really sucks.. Not that we didn’t know Ali was gonna end up just like her anyway, but still.. She didn’t need any help from Lindsay…
What a wonderful parents they have.. Their idiot dad is more worried about Jon Gosselin’s kids (lmao yeah right!!!) than his own.. It’s all just great..
