"Cut me some slack" means "Give me a break."
Slack means not tight, like a loose rope. So cutting slack means to loosen up.

Slack means extra, usually when you're speaking about a rope- if the rope isn't pulled tight, then there is "slack." It means to give someone a little extra space, or room; to not pull things tight around them.
