Hi friends! Does "dig on" mean "like" or "enjoy" here in the sentence: "I don't dig on swine"? Do native speakers use this phrase commonly? This sentence is taken from a dialogue: VINCENT Want some bacon? JULES No, man, I don't eat pork. VINCENT Are you Jewish? JULES I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all. Thanks.

Hey there! So in informal English we can say “ dig” to mean “like”, but we can’t say “ dig on”. That phrasal verb doesn’t exist. I totally dig pop music! I dig it; it looks nice! I dig a good barbecue. Hope that helps!

I can only imagine this phrase being said in the accent of Samuel L Jackson. To "dig on" is not in common usage. You could say that you "dig" something, but it sounds dated now.

Pulp Fiction - I love it. In slang you can say pretty much anything that sounds good. 'Dig on; isn't terribly common, but it is used from time to time. Here are the opening lyrics from Uneasy Rider by Charlie Daniels from 1973 I was takin' a trip out to LA Toolin' along in my Chevrolet Tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio
