Unless you've been living under a rock these past few weeks, chances are high that your Gchat and Facebook have been blowing up with links from countless acquaintances, all pointing you towards one video: "Shit Girls Say." In a little under a month, Graydon Sheppard and Kyle Humphrey's YouTube compilation of lady friends' most recognizable utterances has become one of the most explosive viral sensations to kick off the new year. It's also surprisingly simple: No honey badgers, no Gregory Brothers-style remixing—just a dude in an ugly brunette wig, lampin' with his BFFs.
Once the video hit the web in December, numerous others, moved by its message, began taking to the 'Net to express some of the lines they most frequently overhear from representatives of almost every background, from Asian girls to Southern gay guys to yogis. With the plethora of people talking shit out there, we decided to save you some time by separating the best from the rest. In honor of the much-loved meme and the movement it spawned, we present to you our list of The 10 Best "Shit People Say" Videos.

10. Shit Single Girls Say
Who hasn't had one of those nights where they somehow wound up the one dude among a crew of female friends? You'd think this might be a good thing, but you'll realize before long that once you're part of a 5:1 girl-to-guy ratio, there's nothing women won't say in front of you. Chances are, it'll sound a lot like this.
We've got to say, though, if we ever encountered a girl who looked as rough as this guy does in drag, we're not sure we'd hold out hope for her.
9. Shit Black Girls Say 2
Billy Sorrells is one of the worst-looking sisters we've ever seen (we ran in the other direction the last time we saw a chick with a 'stache like that), but he certainly is entertaining to watch as his black female alter ego, Peaches. That said, we feel for that baby. Once one of the parody's thousands of commenters pointed out that the character looked like a black Dave Grohl in drag, we couldn't stop thinking about what unfortunate genes those would be to inherit.
8. Shit Girls Say: Episode 2
"Does this taste funny to you?"
Nothing like a friend generously offering up a helping of their foul-tasting food. We're sure, in fact, that you've been on the receiving end at least once. (We definitely have.) In Graydon Sheppard and Kyle Humphrey's second installment of "Shit Girls Say," the duo pay further homage to the profound morsels that come from the mouths of women. Careful: Once you view the video, it's hard not to notice these exchanges on a regular basis.
7. Shit Vegans Say
Anyone who's ever attempted to go buy some groceries with a preachy vegan friend in tow can appreciate what Ari Solomon brings to the table here. We aren't ones to hate on your dietary preferences (well, maybe we are), but there's no bigger buzzkill at dinner than trying to enjoy a steak between salty looks from some hater in pleather shoes.
6. Shit Black Gays Say: Part II
Much like The Godfather: Part II, every once in a while, you'll encounter a sequel that outdoes the original. In need of a brutally honest opinion? Leave it to a gay black man to serve it to you straight. At least you know this guy won't let you go anywhere "serving Drake eyebrows to the kids."
5. Shit Monks Say
Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Case in point: Comedians Evan and Gareth's pensive parody, which went up a little over a week ago and has already received upward of 20,000 hits.
Bonus points for the throwback flip phones.
4. Shit Black Guys Say
The 'Net's had its fair share of gender-bending females in the wake of the Shit Girls Say movement, but none do it better than these two comediennes, who posted this video a few days after Billy Sorrells' "Shit Black Girls Say" went live. In it, the twosome turn the tables right back around on the brothers, and pose as a duo of (surprisingly decent-looking) dudes chilling at home, kicking it to girls on the street, and arguing with their ladyfriends on the phone.
Our favorite line? "What you lookin' so mean for?! Better smile!" If you haven't struck out with this, you've definitely overheard someone who has.
3. Shit Black Girls Say
Peaches lovers were first introduced to Billy Sorrells' questionably baked Southern belle in this original fan favorite. While the numerous videos spawned from Graydon Sheppard's character have introduced the public to countless quotables, we have a feeling that none will prove in 2012 to be as inescapable as "Delete!"
Prep yourself.
2. Shit White Girls Say...To Black Girls
In a mere five days, video blogger Franchesca Ramsey's "Shit White Girls Say...to Black Girls" nabbed over four million views, and nearly as much press coverage as its inspiring vid. Parody meets social commentary in her spoof of the original, which has her donning a blonde wig and unleashing a few of the one-liners she experienced growing up as a token black friend in West Palm Beach.
In response to her bestie's comment about the lack of a "White Entertainment Television," couldn't one argue that any channel that airs Two And A Half Men pretty much qualifies?
1. Shit Girls Say
Behold the meme that started it all. In one minute and nineteen seconds, Graydon Sheppard and Kyle Humphrey's montage of a nameless white chick going about her day captures girly behavior so accurately that even most women will plead guilty to letting every last one of these phrases rip. Those who don't care to bow down to 2012's present, undeniable lords of YouTube can feel free to take it up with them in the comments section, where they'll discover that nearly 10 million other viewers will care to disagree.
