    - Some would say they are *all* spatulas. (btw, I think "flipper" is mostly a Canadian thing) -- nm - loosilu Jun 1, 12:48

      - 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
        
        FWIW, I was on Roger More's side, but Kim and I researched it and she was right. -- nm - David Jun 1, 12:54
      - i bet WIliams Sonoma agrees with me. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 12:48 2
        
        Williams Sonoma will say anything to sell a spatula for $29.99 -- nm - Roger More Jun 1, 12:49 1
        
        including, apparently, calling them spatulas -- (link) - Roger More Jun 1, 13:00
      - 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
