You may have heard about the “Shit People Say” meme that’s taken the internet by storm in the past month. It began with the “Shit Girls Say” video, in which a guy dressed in drag recites stereotypically girly phrases. This went viral after a few million people said “OMG this is soooo true!” and shared it on Facebook. Next came the copycat videos, which became increasingly specific/offensive — “Shit Guys Say,” “Shit Black Girls Say,” “Shit Drunk Girls Say,” “Shit Girls Say to Gay Guys,” “Shit Middle-Aged Guys Say While Waiting In Line at the Bank,” and so on.

A recent sub-genre of the “Shit People Say” meme has been the rise of the geographically focused videos, ranging from the obvious (“Shit New Yorkers Say“) to the less-obvious (“Shit Austinites Say“). Fashionably late as always, there still hasn’t been a Shit Vermonters Say video, but Vermont’s Twitter community filled the void admirably today, beginning with @whitneyinvt. Here are a few of our favorites. Thanks for giving us an excuse to stare at Twitter instead of doing real work today, Whitney.

    Believe me, there are no real perks to being a woodchuck as we’re typically the ones working in the service industry serving the wealthy flatlanders that make our economy run.  So let us enjoy being proud of our heritage eh?
