/Sounds like "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "kah" (as in "car") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "BAH" (as in "bar") + "sahs" (as in "salsa")/
To reject someone romantically, to turn down their love interest. Giving someone calabazas hurts for both the giver and the receiver, but it's better than leading them on with false hope.
“She rejected the poor guy who asked her to be his girlfriend.”
“I got turned down but I'm over it now.”

A buenas horas
An ironic Spanish expression for something that arrived way too late to be of any use. Used when help, news, or action finally shows up long after it could have made a real difference. The full phrase is often "a buenas horas mangas verdes," referring to the green-sleeved officers who always showed up after the trouble was already over.
