sic properly refers only to a misspelled or otherwise incorrect word, which you are leaving uncorrected for some reason (usually quotation). An ironic usage would be one where you want to imply that some word is misspelled or otherwise incorrect, even though it isn't. Doesn't make much sense beyond that.
Anyway, ++ for the rest of your post.
