Armarse is used idiomatically to mean a chaotic or conflictive situation forming. 'Se arma de todo' intensifies this: not just any scene, but a major one. Common in spoken Argentine informal speech.

A playful compound insult. The literal meaning is fully transparent, but its use as a noun applied to a person is a culturally specific youth slang construction. The humour comes from treating romantic interest as a form of theft.

Voseo imperative of 'cortar' used idiomatically. Tells someone to stop an annoying behaviour or comment. More direct than 'pará' but less aggressive than explicit insults.

Fixed idiom meaning to make a blunder or say the wrong thing. 'La pata' (paw/leg) is used figuratively. The image is of stepping in something unpleasant. Common across all ages in informal Argentine speech.
