Answer

Hi. You'll find the answer on these page in the dictionary of the Real Academia Español and in Oxford Spanish Dictionary, both of which are great resources.

By the way, I found the phrase easily on Google by searching just for the phrase "un pispas" within quotation marks, but I found that the word has an accent mark on the last syllable (pispás). It's not necessary to use accent marks when searching in Google, but in some language dictionaries, you won't get results unless you use the proper accent marks, as in the RAE dictionary.
