A small canister (usually 8 or 16g) of nitrous oxide gas (N2O). Used officially in making whipped cream, but more often used recreationally to for its dissociative effects. If used properly and in moderation whippits are harmless. However, improper inhalation (e.g. wearing a mask or putting a bag over one's head) can lead to oxygen deprivation, and heavy use can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency. You'd have to be a complete moron to put a bag over your head in any situation, and the B12 deficiency is easily treated, so nitrous is a pretty safe drug.
Me: I knew someone whose 19 year old son died by using whippits. Apparently he put a plastic bag of the nitrous over his head.
Someone else: What an idiot.
Me: Yep, there's always someone who gives a safe drug a bad name.

Opening a fresh can of whipped cream and holing it upright without shaking it and inhaling the gas inside and getting a big rush for 15 seconds
I got bored last night so I just did a quick whippit

releasing NO2 from a cannister into a balloon and inhaling it. The effect is temporary, lasting only about one minute, and is harmless. (NO2 is used by dentists regularly during painful operations)
Let's do a whippit.

Nitrous oxide dispenser, used legitimately in making whipped cream.
I'd urge considerable caution to those who see this as a recreational drug. Be sure that, if you use it to induce unconsciousness or even get close to that state, you can get away from the gas. My 19-year-old son died by filling a plastic shopping bag with NO2 from a Whippit and hanging its handles over his ears while lying face down in his bed. He passed out and suffocated. I found him dead the next morning.

ear whipping 

A sermon; especially one administered at a soup kitchen prior to food being served.
Bum #1: Hey, let's go to the Bread of Life mission tonight for dinner!

Bum #2: NO, NOT THERE!!! They gave an ear whipping almost four hours long last night for a scoop of mystery meat and a spoonful of smashed potatoes with lumpy gravy on them!!!
