        spatulas: -- (link) - Andie Jun 1, 12:45 12
        
        Some would say they are *all* spatulas. (btw, I think "flipper" is mostly a Canadian thing) -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 12:48
        
        Spatula -- (link) - Roger More Jun 1, 12:46 10
        
        Kim and I went through this recently. I was surprised to learn what I thought was a spatula is in fact a turner. -- nm - David Jun 1, 12:51 4
        
        if everyone calls it a spatula, that's what it is. -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 12:52 1
        
        okay Lucy. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 12:53
        
        i knew i loved you. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 12:52 1

        I have two implements in my kitchen that I call a spatula. One is for flipping burgers. One is for removing brownie mix from bowls -- nm - oblique Jun 1, 12:47 1
        
        Thinking back, I think we called both items spatula as well, but cake spatula was also interchanged with scraper -- nm - Roger More Jun 1, 12:51
        
        see, I learned that that's a "bowl scraper". A spatula is a metal blade used to spread frosting on cake. -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 12:45 5
        
        Wait. That's not a "frosting knife"? - musubi Jun 1, 12:54 4
        
        wiki calls it a "frosting spatula" -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 12:55 3
        
        here it is. looks like a putty knife. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 1, 12:56 2
        
        I know they use it a lot on the cooking shows I watch. I coulda swore the chefs called it a "frosting knife". (nm) - musubi Jun 1, 12:57 1
        
        I think all of these terms are used interchangeably. -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 12:58
- and only one of them recognized Joe Biden. - Andie Jun 1, 12:40 4
  - Did anyone ask them to explain the rules of Vampire Baseball? They totally would have aced that. -- nm - David Jun 1, 12:47

    - only one of them. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 12:43
  - that's shameful. -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 12:41
