took a cab from Burnsville 

“Took a cab from Burnsville” is synonymous with being penny wise and dollar foolish. In Minneapolis Minnesota a national fried chicken chain advertised a one day chicken special. When it was discovered the only local Minneapolis store did not honor the national special local TV crews went onto the scene to get footage of the patron’s disappointment. One of the patrons interviewed complained loudly "I took a cab from Burnsville" which is a distant suburb of Minneapolis where the expense of a cab ride would be many magnitudes times the savings of the chicken special.
I took a cab from Burnsville to get cheap movie tickets.

Left my phone in a cab

A catch-all excuse for work as to why you're not checking email, phone calls, or attending meetings while you're traveling or out of work (typically during your vacation). Often implies that you're spending your time having romantic encounters and otherwise spending your time doing extracurriculars, while avoiding work entirely.
I'm so sorry I couldn't check my email last week. I left my phone in a cab in Barcelona.

Call-A-Cab

A extremely delicious and yet intoxicating frozen drink served at the world famous Wet Willies (preferably in Miami Beach). It gets you so drunk that you may want to Call A Cab, hence, the name. Yeah.....hence!
I went to Wet Willies and drank two Call-A-Cabs. I had to call a cab to get home.
