    In my home a spatula was always a tool with a flat rubber end, so this thing is a flipper. What do you call the rubber headed thing that you scrape bowls out with?

      Do you mean something like this?

      I just call them rubber spatulas, despite the fact that the one I have is made of silicone lol

      I’m my home, we have a variety of spatulas. Rubber spatula - both “no the big one” and “no the little one”; metal spatulas include: “my favorite”/“the sharp one”, “the big shitty one”, and “the curvy one”; and irregulars such as “the big offset”, “that stupid orange one”, and “the icing spatt”.

      A rubber spatula or “the good one, I need to get all the sauce out of this pan”.

      Actually we speak French and English 50/50 because Montreal, and in French it actually has a name “Une Maryse”, which is defined as: “a rubber spatula”.

      You’re not gonna believe this- that’s also a spatula. You gotta specify metal or silicone. I’ve heard “scraper” and “flipper” but far less commonly than both spatula.

      Did you know spatula and spade share a common root?
