Another Minnesotan checking in. It’s definitely common around these parts. I’ve heard it used to describe both doing donuts and making a U-turn.

I’m from the same general area as **Ginger** and I have never heard the the term, “whip a shittie”. I also live in Minneapolis for a few years and never heard the term there either.
