- andar tieso de pasta = no tener dinero (have no money).

- chorizo - assuming you mean calling a person "chorizo" = ratero, ladrón (scoundrel, thief).

- empalmar navaja y dar una sirla = atracar a punto de navaja OR atracar a punto de cuchillo (to hold up at knife point, to rob at knife point).

- alonsanfan (something to do with a national anthem??) - sorry, never heard of that one.

saludos,
jer...
