"Feel me?"

Answer:

YADIG

Hint:

This phrase is often used at the end of a joke to ask if the listener understood the punchline. Think of it as a slangy way to say "you get it?"

Explanation:

The clue "Feel me?" is a playful nod to the phrase "You feel me?"—a casual way to ask if someone understands or agrees. The answer "YADIG" is a phonetic spelling of "ya dig?" which is slang for the same idea, short for "Do you dig?" (meaning "Do you get it?"). It’s a double layer of informal speech, turning a question into a punny, abbreviated answer.
