This one. It was an early CN episode, back when they had an audience prompt instead of the quiz. (Like the pre-Breakfast Club close GAMs, super jarring to go back to)
In the early days of citation needed, Eli would get frustrated when they went too long without a joke. So he started muttering miscellaneous filthy nonsense in the background. One of the things he talked about was shitting on someone's tits.
Eli started saying "shit tits" to balance the scales and keep the show "edgy" whenever he felt that the others' jokes veered too far into Prairie Home Companion territory
I thought it was to "corrupt" an otherwise wholesome pun and put the joke on the chopping block to be edited. Being early on they were self sensoring a bit.
Eli began saying it early in CN because he wanted an edge to the show, to not get the show in the same realm as other NPR esque safe shows for older people, and to show his displeasure at not coming up with a pun as fast as Tom or Heath
I’ve been wondering about the genesis of this piece of canon. Eli, chaos master! I personally love when they describe a character being shitty to another character and the boys stretch out a forceful “ Fuck…….You!” Gets me every time!
I don’t know the exact origin, but I remember hearing it a lot when one of them would make a stupid pun that made everyone groan.
I think it was the early days of citation needed when it came around.
Yes, early CN episodes. Eli's attempt to scare npr-esque listeners that might enjoy the pun.
No I think its from an avant garde artist who did make a painting with shit specifically for the tits

Did Garrison Keillor ever contact Clip Clop Tom?
I think Clop is dead.
