hello from northern europe
YOUR LAKES STILL FREEZE ENOUGH TO DRIVE ON?!Wait, I would swear parts of utah do get cold enough to do it… oh wait, lol. Lakes!
I would have thought the same for oklahoma and kentucky as well.

Whipping shitties -> my lexicon
I assume this term is more popular in regions that do not experience snow so their material is muddy fields and the chunks that are kicked up are turd shaped. I expected it to be a higher percentage.
Looks like mostly the greater Minnesota area, with blips in St. Louis, Worcester, Wyoming and Phoenix, so not really snowless and wet normally. Though they might all (except for Phoenix- maybe those are snowbirds?) have a lot of snowmelt in the spring that makes kicking up chunks more likely.
Being from one of the green areas, I’ve definitely heard it before, but rarely as the primary way of saying it. When I hear it, it’s usually added for comedic effect along the lines of “I was doing donuts yesterday. Ya know, just whipping shitties.”
YOINK
Now you might only be able to get a couple rotations until the ice has had at least one night at twenty below. That’ll set it up real nice. After that you should be able to properly whip a shitty worth telling your kids about some day.
Is it even worth trying before that point in the season? You betcha!
Whipping a shitty sounds like something that might spray liquid on onlookers 😂
Sorry, there are folks calling it “doing cookies” and people here are concerned with “whippin’ shitties”?
Because I had such a heavy course load in college, I would offer to designated drive for my friends in college on Friday nights. During the winter, when they were all plastered, I would offer to take them out for donuts. Then I’d just pull into a Kmart parking lot and spin donuts. Very proud of my dumb joke I’d pull.
That sounds really funny until you suddenly need to clean your car
I’m Canadian and come from “doing donuts” territory, but we will use “whipping shitties” if it’s done in a massive parking lot.
question what the fuck is wrong with the midwest
Question which sounds more fun: doing donuts 🥱💤 or whipping shitties 🔥🔥
Do I have to clean up?
Maybe if you’re the guy with a zamboni.
I kinda want to live amongst a people who call it “whipping shitties”, but then I’m colorblind, so who knows where the fuck that is. But on the other hand, I was able to adjust the contrast on my screen, so that kinda bypasses my fucked up colorblind genetics enough that I can see where the whipping shitties people live, and that honestly changed my mind on the whole ideal of living amongst them.
I’m colorblind AND lazy, where is it?
Mostly northern Minnesota. Here’s an example of the sorts of conversations you’ll have (starting at about the 16 minute mark).
“Whipping shitties”? Wat
Whipping the shitties straight out your butthole with these skills
Rippin donies
That’s pretty good too!
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?
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.
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.
Awesome, thanks for the additional context.
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.
You get bonus points if you do it while going around a corner.

When I was a teenager, “whipping shitties” was what we called spinning donuts in the parking lots with a car.
So you’re saying that it had another name when you did it without a car?
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.
I’ve never heard anyone call it anything other than doing donuts… and I live in Minnesota lol
What’s going on with Minnesota??
