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
