Re:What does Rumpelstilzchen means?
Rumplestiltzchen is a fairytale character who spun gold out of straw in exchange for a princess's first born child. When the time came for the princess to give her baby up, she refused. Rumplestiltzchen said if she could guess his name she could keep her baby. After much worry and wrong names, she heard him in the woods singing and he called himself "Rumplestiltzchen". The next day he came to collect the baby, she called out a few names and just when he reached for the baby she yelled "Rumplestilzchen". He was so angry that he stomped his foot into the ground so hard it got stuck. She kept her baby.

Re:Help with a couple of expressions.
Thank you all for your help. :-)
1)Now, after I read what Tierney wrote, a doubt cropped up.
Is the expression ‘to get the wind up’ commonly used meaning to become scared?.For example , would the following sentence be ok?:
‘Tom got the wind up when he realised his opponent had a gun’.
2)YES!! The term ‘pedagogue’ is perfectly appropriate for the context where I found the word pettigog, in fact it is used with reference to a school teacher.Thanx, Charles!

Re: No le pega a la negra - Spanish question
Hola Erick
Esa frase no tiene sentido. No es correcta.
Si es de una canción debería ser, como una orden: No le pegues a la Negra. Una prohibición
//// This phrase havas no sense. It is not correct.
Maybe, it is an order, bad copied and want to indicate : Do not hit?? to my dear black woman, to my couple, or my girlfriend or something lovely, for protecting her.
But really you can learn other song more beautyfull like "Corazon
Partío". There is a place: tu-refugio.com with leter and music
of a lot of Spanish songs. Try to find one that you like and If you ask me I can explain the sense or meaning.
I hope your message...... Take care,
Mary

Help with a couple of expressions.
Hi,
1)I'd appreciate some help with the following expression:
"to get the wind up": I know it means to become nervous or afraid, but what I'd like to know is its register, I mean, do you sound vulgar when using it?, or is it sth. neutral like when you use expressions such as 'once in a blue moon', or 'to kick the bucket'?
2)Does anybody know the meaning of the word "pettigog"? i've seached everywhere , even on-line dictionaries, but no way!!
Thanks in advance!!:-)
