The answer assuming you don't know what those things are:

A Incom Corporation T-16 Skyhopper is a high performance airspeeder to quote Wookiepedia. A 2 T-16's appear in the Lars homestead in the Star Wars IV - look is seen playing with a model one with his real one in the background through a doorway. Movie Still

Biggs also mentions them in the Yavin briefing saying "T-16’s are a lot like the snub-fighters [Ed: X-Wings] we are using"

A womp rat is a large omnivorous rodent apparently native to Tatooine [Canon], but seemingly found a lot of other places in Expanded Univers (Legends) material. They are about the size of tiger and roam in packs.

Bulls-eye in Star Wars has the same meaning as "our world" in that a bull is the male of a (game) species. (Bull crocodile for instance, or bull elephant).

The English longbow yeomen were directed to practice frequently, and it has been stated that there was often a practice held immediately after church services in small hamlets, the only time during the week when many of the archers would gather. A common target was the white skull of a bull, and the greatest skill could be illustrated by getting a "bull's eye".

Another common shooting term derives from this activity, when the archer is far from the target, the arrow must be pointed high, due to the arched trajectory of an arrow. When the archer is very close to the target, then he may point directly, without aiming above the white bull's skull, hence "pointing at the white", or "point blanc" as it was stated in those times. The term is now an established military term, "point blank" range, or the distance at which a firearm can be directly aimed at the target without consideration of the arched trajectory. Modern firearms often have a point blank range of a few hundred yards.

What Luke meant (in the context of "you have to do the Death Star trench run (a little unnecessarily complicated for an attack strategy, we know) and fire torpedoes into a 2 meter wide hole at the end" and Wedge was a whiny little bitch about it, was "Bitch please.You got targeting computers and all sorts of shit and there is like a whole 4 squadrons and those like, what are they - some cargo ships n' stuff? Against, well.... yeah nah - it'll be fine. Seriously. These other guys? All screwed. But you? You're fine Wedge. Speaking part. You'll get an action figure out of it."
