to cause, to start (a fight, a scene, a party)expressioncolloquialIn everyday Argentine speech, 'armar' is used to mean 'to create or stir up a situation', whether positive (armar una fiesta) or negative (armar un escándalo, armar un lío).

to have a chance (romantically), to have a shot with someoneexpressioncolloquialVery common in Argentine casual speech. 'Puerta' (door) is used metaphorically: if someone 'te da puerta', they are open to your advances. The image is of a door being opened to let you in.
Creo que le gusto a Mariana, ¡tengo puerta!I think Mariana likes me, I've got a shot!no dar más
