@Lou Ann: Irmamar believes the expression might be somehow incomplete. If the missing part were said, it would be easier to know where it comes from.

Still "no dar ni cinco de pelota" doesn't seem to have an obvious origin. If there were some Argentine members they might say a bit more... I know that expression is very used there.
