well "darme calabazas" means "to give me pumkins".
You really could not use it in a sentence you would have to conjugate it saying maybe "dame calabazas" meaning "give me pumkins" thats the only way I can think you could use it.

Literal translation would be Give me pumpkins, however it is an old saying in some countries meaning to deceive me in some way.

It's Mexican Spanish that I know of. It means to refuse a request. Martha P's explanation is the best of all of the rest.
