It's from the 7th episode of the 7th season of the Walking Dead. Here is the context:

Guy A: At least Negan's smart enough

not to let that mess anywhere near us.

Fat Joey's good for something, at least.

Guy B: What, eating cake?

He rigged the herdway.

Just trips.

    Is this scene available on YouTube or somewhere so we can hear the dialog as spoken?

“herdway” seems to be a word invented by the show’s script writers. Given the show’s subject matter, I would guess it refers to some sort of path or channel (“way”) for a herd of zombies.

“rigged” means “put together”.

Combined, I would guess that “rigged the herdway” means put together some sort of physical obstacle to divert zombies around the speakers’ position.

Note: I haven’t watched the show at all; someone who has might have a completely different idea.

  • "Rigged' to me suggests something with an active mechanism; more complex than putting together some IKEA. A weaker form of "engineered". Ships sails are a good example, or traps - in this case, either tripwires (which, I'll admit, aren't especially active, unless they trigger a hidden trap), or at least tree branches and stuff that will trip the zombie herd. (I don't watch the show, either, but I'm sure StephenS is right.)
