I believe the actual term is "give me some slack". It is the person's request to have some maneuvering room, or discretion in actions or decisions.

Depends on in what context it is said.
It could mean give me some slack as the other poster said, but it can also refer to getting rope to hang someone (not literally) that has done something wrong.

Think of a tied up boat with a taught rope; it means give someone some breathing room.
