The penguins realy take care of you.

The penguins realy take care of you. Three squares a day and a place to live and I love their religion. I love all the bloody Saints. I mean, they're in pain, but they're really digging it, you know?

For a start, why does "The penguins" refer to "The nuns" and "squares" mean "meals?" What are missing links?

Second, what does "they're really digging it" mean? Thanks.

Penguins and nuns - the traditional clothing of nuns made them resemble the black and white penguins. com/2yzhbz "squares" = "square meals". "They're really digging it" = they really understand

Hi,

'The penguins' - Nuns dress in black over white garment.
'Square' - Slang for meal.
'dig' - Slang for like, enjoy.

I sense that the statements were made with a sarcastic tone.
