Dig yourself
This was probably a common enough phrase, but perhaps--just maybe--there's a connection to Bob Dylan here. In Dylan's iconic video for "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (the one in which Dylan holds placards with snippets from the lyrics), there's only one card Dylan holds up that is not part of the song lyrics. It says: "Dig Yourself." See the video here. The card in question is at 1:51. (I know that that might be a stretch, but a guy can dream, can't he?)
