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.
I heard the term “whip a shittie” from my friend’s aunt. Now my friend and I use it all the time, but no one else here in Kansas seems to know what it means.
