abducktion
Refers to da unintentional shanghaiing dat happened to Garfield when he tried to capture "da largest bird he'd ever seen" --- i.e., he grabbed da quacker's legs, causing said started waterfowl to fly off with said chubby tabby dangling beneath it.
Garfield did eventually make it hack home after his unfortunate abducktion, but not before he'd endured a number of assorted misadventures, such as being netted by the local stray-pets catcher, feeling in a famished panic upon discovering that there was no "real food" (i.e., rich/fatty/salty/sugary junk) in a health-food store, etc..

Aaron Burrdock
Da infamous "prickly-natured" late-18th-century politician who was notorious for hot-headedly "bristling" whenever anyone of an opposing view dared to challenge his "pet" ideas.
In his fumingly-temperish disagreements with Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burrdock must have really had a you-know-what up his "you-know-where" to actually want to kill a fellow politician merely because said statesman had opposing political views. Too bad that the "Gentle Art Of" book-series (i.e., verbal self-defense, self-control, etc.) wouldn't be published for another 150-plus years, or his reading up on these topics might have helped him moderate his "spiky" emotions.

hexaggeration
To help MacGyver defeat da villain in da episode, voodoo-priestess Mama Lorraine made a huge hexaggeration with her facial features and other gestures to scare da living crap outta da merc and temporarily prevent him from interfering with what Mac was trying to do; afterwards she guffawingly told Mac dat she had da hardest time not cracking up while performing her dramatic fakery on da hapless manipulator.

helio-trope
A lengthy "weedy" (i.e., colorful but insipidly boring) message sent by flashing a mirror using Morse code.
Native Americans used smoke-signals and African natives in da jungle used drums to speak to each other over long distances, but these forms of communicating took quite a lot of effort and/or preparation, so generally they only used said methods for truly-important messages. Standing on a sunny hilltop and wobbling a mirror is comparatively easy, though, and so a lot of da messages conveyed therein tend to be nothing much except a lotta helio-trope.

There was a long line ahead of me
Da "ultimate" in acceptable excuses for why it took you so long to finish shopping, processing'delivering bureaucratic paperwork, or otherwise conducting routine business.
Telling your having-impatiently-waited family or car-pool buddies, "There was a long line ahead of me" may indeed get you off da hook as far as their venting their seething wrath at you, but you yourself will likely find it very stressful (not to mention tiring on your achy legs and feet!) to have to cool your heels in line for so long, and so in the end you may feel similarly weakened and emotionally exhausted as you would have if you'd had to "face the music" because you **hadn't** had any plausible excuse for producing such a lengthy delay in finishing up.

introducktion
I hadda attend a long boring business-meeting where a lot of different people were telling each other their names and positions in da company; da only fun I had was afterwards, when I was able to play da audio-tape of said meeting at 2-times normal speed to make everyone's voices sound like nasally quacking; dat way I could giggle at everyone's "introducktions".
