@grammargirl
the one on the left doesn't have a name; it's a scraper, you could call it that if you like.
the one on the right is a fish slice. all other answers are wrong. -

@grammargirl Since nobody has mentioned it, I'd say both are spatulas but I'd also call the one on the right a "flipper."
[edit: ah, I see it's mentioned in tfa]

@grammargirl
Danish: Dejskraber (doughscraper) / spatel (spatula) -
@grammargirl Spatula (l), fish slice (r).
@Nickiquote @grammargirl Same here (Yorkshire). Mind, I've never seen anyone slice a fish with it. It'd be more appropriate to call it a fry-up flipper...

@grammargirl Y’all seem to not know a basic “bowl scraper” when you see one.
