If you know someone named ben and he can do something, everyone else probably can.

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!"

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

Our entire workplace administration seems to share what appears to be a characterological form of chronic Can Kicking Syndrome and so we all wind up lost, trying to solve our own commonly shared dilemmas by ourselves, in isolation.
