When I was a teenager, “whipping shitties” was what we called spinning donuts in the parking lots with a car.
Although you’re correct, it could be attributed to the same shenanigans on a frozen lake.
I remember one intersection near my high school that always got extremely icy every winter… Some buddies of mine with drivers licenses loved to “whip a shitty” through that intersection. Basically, crank their wheel hard as they’re driving through the intersection and spin in a few circles while sliding through the intersection. I dunno how we never crashed a car doing that.
spin in a few circles while sliding through the intersection
Okay, that’s a maneuver deserving this moniker. It probably looks as hilarious as the name itself. To say nothing of being a passenger in a car that’s doing it.
Interesting, I’ve had that sort of thing happen a bunch with my friends when I was younger, but always due to hydroplaning since we were in the south. We never had a specific name for it though, but it also wasn’t as repeatable as with ice and it was rarely intentional.
Whipping shitties is when my dog has diarrhea, gets scared because it’s sticking, then runs in a circle while the poop flies around as she tries to clean her butt (think chasing her tail while diarrhea). It happened once, but that was enough.
Clearly c) is the correct answer.
As a Minnesotan, I have to agree.
I have to ask: “whipping shitties” is done on the lake when you’re bored during ice fishing, isn’t it?

Awesome, thanks for the additional context.

You get bonus points if you do it while going around a corner.

So you’re saying that it had another name when you did it without a car?
