It means "What's up, dude". The "Calabaza" part is just added for rhyme.
You cannot go around calling people "pumpkin"; it only works in this particular phrase, in exactly the same way as "See you later, alligator".
I agree with Gekkosan.
This rhyming phrase is used in México also to say "Hello, what's up?" You don't translate the "calabasa" literally.
It's the equivalent of saying: "See you later, alligator...in awhile, crocodile!" You don't translate the "crocodile" literally -- it's just there because it rhymes.
What's up pumpkin? Calabaza.
Okay, so now that you know what it means, you need a reply!
¿Qué pasa calabaza?
Nada, nada limonada!
talofa, who fell off the sofa
i read in http://www.diccionariolibre.com/definition.php?word=Calabasa
Calabasa are Lechoza, and lechoza is papaya (http://www.wikidominicana.edu.do/wiki/Lechoza)
If your friend is from Spain i think is wrong and is "calabaza", but if for Sud-America is possible is "papaya".
yah, ese correcto. Calabaza = pumpkin
