can you dig it

"Do you understand?" or "Do you comprehend".

The general usage of the term DIG as an indicator of understanding "do you dig" / "dig me" (as in "do you understand") comes from non-English speaking Irish immigrants in the USA speaking Irish to each other.

"An dtuigeann tú?" (pronounced "On digging two") means "Do you understand?".

Also used in a short form "dig it", "dig me" etc.

Used in the 50's by the beatniks, the 60s and 70s saw it enter into the AAVE lexicon, the used of the term was widely popularised in blacksploitation movies such as Shaft, and later movies such as "The Warriors".

Lets not go there, the music sucks and the people are assholes. Way better craic in the old bars, can you dig it?

"You dig it"
"Pretty cool music man, like, look at Stacy... she digs it!"

Can Kicking Syndrome

A common disorder of chronic avoidance of difficulties accompanied by a flair for procrastination.

beer can blanket

When a person wakes up covered in beer cans creating a beer can blanket.

Pbluescript jolted awake as the afternoon sun hit his face. A loud crash hurled him out of bed as his makeshift beer can blanket crashed to his soiled bedroom floor.

Soiled.

Like his heart.
